Product Information

Ed: “We’re not at liberty to say exactly what samples are on the album, but there are some crazy combinations. Not that even the people concerned would be able to recognise themselves.” In March 1995, the Dust Brothers began their first international tour, which included the United States – where they played with Orbital and Underworld – then a series of European festivals.

But this doesn't mean that nothing on it can be enjoyed. Even if the material isn't really up to today's standards (let alone to the ones of '97), it remains a quite nifty disc with a certain relaxed attitude towards it. The chillout tunes in the latter half of the album still do their job very fine (I there any way to accuse "Chico's Groove" or "One Too Many Mornings" of anything particular? I think not!), while the more busy first half does nothing less than offering you more than enough chances to bop your head in all kinds of groovy ways.
