Product Description
From Amazon.com
Back in 1991, when the Cordes brothers released their beautiful debut, the notoriously prickly hip-hop community had a collective fit. How dare that fat kid, who spoke in parables, call himself a rapper? Sampling Spandau Ballet? Talking all that hippie crap? The hardcore fans filed PM Dawn in the alternative section, but the open-minded embraced the dreamy soundscape without questioning its origins. If De La Soul worked with Brain Wilson, you'd be halfway to figuring out the flowing melodies and stream-of-consciousness raps (OK, Prince Be never was much of a microphone fiend) that PM Dawn unleashed. Years later this CD stands up, if only because the rest of the world has caught up to the confusion that Be felt in his troubled soul and translated into music so well. Simply lovely stuff. --Amy Linden

I bought this album, after hearing 'Set Adrift', thinking that that was the best song they could possibly write, but I was wrong. PM Dawn's album is beautiful, one minute you're listening to a funky tune; next soulful and sad lyrics.
It is a treat and should be a must for all those teenagers who snogged someone to 'Set Adrift' at a school disco!

Buy it and give it a try, it has classic Set Adrift, Paper doll, and Reality used to be a friend of mine. Great album, wonderful lyrics with a spiritual touch to it. (Pm Dawn sings spiritually quite a bit).

Y'know this is a hard album to define. It is kinda ageless and every single song on it is pretty special - there are no bad tracks on this album and that's not something you can... Read more
