Connected by Stereo MC's

As a teenager the singles from this didn't really connect with me (no pun intended). Will h the distance of 30 years I like it more than I thought I would. I'd have it right on the border between 3 and 4 stars, but I'm going for the lower option because an artist called Stereo MCs shouldn't have an instrumental on the album. Seems a bit lazy.
