This is an album that is influential. No really, if you were of a certain age, and lived in Britain, this album has one track that is as synonymous as Vera Lynn's 'White Cliffs of Dover' . Seriously, this one track will be used for singing for the brain in forty years.
I'll get to that later.
As for the rest of the album, this is northern soul updated for the nineties. It is has the some really good soul in here. Tinged time with a drum and bass, acid dance tinge. Oh and, while this is an album that is very much of it's time. It's got some nice tunes.As for the legacy. Firstly lets talk about Dr. Brian Cox who has become a cooler, younger physicist David Attenborough. Check out the BBC Wonders series. Which are terrific. Oh, he's the drummer. As for The Track: 'Things Can Only Get Better'. This was used as the song for the Labour landslide in the 1997 General Election landslide. It has since become the tune that most people relate to Tony Blair and New Labour. So on the whole... This is okay stuff. It is possible to skip the more famous track and enjoy this. Have a go at it...
