Product Description
From Amazon.com
This eclectic second disc from the graceful London trio features dub-dance grooves, cafe folk, Rush samples, a Van Dyke Parks arrangement, Eno-meets-rap experiments, and a gentle pop single ("You're In A Bad Way") that could have been sung by Cilla Black in 1965. A puzzle worth solving. --Jeff Bateman
CD Description
At the time of this album's release, dance music scenestersassumed that the title of 1993's SO TOUGH was some sort of response to the Pet Shop Boys' recent SO HARD. Actually, thealbum title is stolen from the 1972 Beach Boys album CARL AND THE PASSIONS--SO TOUGH. Even more so than the group's kaleidoscopic 1991 debut, FOXBASE ALPHA, SO TOUGH marries club rhythms to classic pop forms. The arrangements, while only occasionally resembling Brian Wilson's work, are undoubtedly influenced by his style. This is particularly evident on thelush, hypnotic "Avenue", which wears its PET SOUNDS influence proudly. Elsewhere, the Continental "Mario's Cafe", girl-groupish "You're in a Bad Way", and thumping "Join Our Club"exhibit other sides of Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs' smart, open-minded musical attitude. SO TOUGH is much more than the sum of its influences.
