Album 827: Walking Wounded

I'm clearly not enjoying the 50s, but then would you expect a 50s Rock n Roller to enjoy HMS Pinafore?

So I'm moving forward to my own era, where there's lots of albums I know well. But not this one, by Everything but the Girl. Obviously I've heard the remix of Missing You to death, and like many bands that one hit repeated over and over again

This 1996 album by the band is a really nice crystaline chill-out indie-dance effort. Occasionally even an element of drum n bass in the electronic rhythm section. An all round good description of decent dance music just before the MEGA MEGA WHITE THING MEGA MEGA... of Underworld heralded the not-unwelcome mainsteam shift into mega-dance clubs and their anthems.

8/10
