Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

"An appreciation of contradiction", as described within the sleeve notes of Lamb's eponymously titled debut album, acts as the first clue to content. Andy Barlow's competent production embraces the best elements of a number of genres, sounding full even in the more stripped down pieces while working with as opposed to crowding out Louise Rhodes' claustrophobic songwriting. The music itself makes for a fascinating hybrid. The dubbed analogues of "Trans Fatty Acid" grate against the complex beats and pensive lyrics of "Cotton Wool". Whereas the haunting vocals of "Feela," which absorb a simple piano movement with washes of reverbed feedback, kept in check by brooding strings. A chance encounter in a Manchester studio lead to a stunning debut...wintry vocals backed with all that is good about drum and bass. --Kingsley Marshall

Just when it seemed that trip-hop had settled down, Lamb came along and changed everything. The Massive Attack/Portishead sound had fixed this genre firmly in its place; or so we thought. From the opening vibrophone pulses of 'lusty', to the thundering d&b crashes and angry guitar on 'cottonwool', to the inspired, haunting cello on 'zero', this truly is one hell of an album. A brilliant mix of everything meaninfull and lush in today's music. Drum&Bass has been saved from turning into Trance, and has found a new purpose; providing backdrops to haunting, winty vocals. An excellent album!

Can CD's wear out? 30 Jun 2000

If so I'll need a new copy soon. It hasn't been off my playlist for the year I've owned it.

I just love Louise Rhodes voice. So unique. Add in the mix of drum 'n' bass and melancholy grooves and hey presto my album of all time.

Depending on how your love life is going, Gorecki has to be the happiest song ever written or the ultimate tear jerker. I've experienced both sides of the coin.

Just buy it, along with follow up Fear of Fours. If you regret it you're tone deaf.

Few enough record collections are graced with this mid 90s masterpiece and that's a great pity. Lamb are the nexus where jazz, classical and Drum'n'bass meet. This is their debut and there isn't another album quite like it. From the poignant and innovative cello on Zero to the seemingly orchestral sweep of the Gorecki this album will wrench you away from banality and force you to listen in childlike wonder. The collage of sounds drummed up (pardon the pun) by producer Andy Barlow is stunning, pure genius in places. Combine that with the rich, sexy and painfully earnest voice of Louise Rhodes and you're in sonic heaven. Intimate music created by music lovers for music lovers. This is the kind of record you'll bore your friends to tears talking about. Don't worry, however, as they'll return the favour just like mine did.
This band deserves your attention and this album is priceless.
Buy it!
