Ok album a couple really good tracks (Single, Flipside). But other than Tracey Thorn’s soothing vocals, there is much here that would distinguish this from similar late 90s electro pop
It may be cynical, but I don't see any other way it can be... after a wildly successful cameo with Massive Attack and a phenomenal success of a Todd Terry remix, there had to have been a commercial reasoning behind making an electronic album. Everything But The Girl was a better than average Sophistipop group with a great singer in Thorn. To take their melodies and fuse them with Drum N Bass, Trip Hop and Techno beats could not have been the easiest thing and yet it works, very well and elevated the group even farther.
