Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Best Kept Secrets is a collection of the finer points from Lamb's career to date--an even smattering from their four albums--their self-titled debut, Fear of Fours, What Sound and 2003's Between Darkness & Wonder. Although geographically miles away, Lamb were an integral part of the Bristol sound with their music sitting somewhere between Portishead and Roni Size. "Cottonwool" opens the anthology, and rightly so--the brooding double bass, ethereal vocal and broken beats are a perfect intro to what they're all about.

Best Kept Secrets is in chronological order and highlights the slight changes in direction that occurred in each period. Tunes such as "B-line" and "Bonfire" are more rhythmic than their fractal predecessors yet dirty in comparison to the smooth, almost soulful "Stronger" and "Please" from their latter years. Although the album gets comfier and more worthy of the "chillout" tag as it progresses, it's clear that two things remain consistent throughout: Rhodes' vocals remain beautiful and Barlow's production always does enough to keep it left of centre. --David Trueman



CD Description

First best-of collection from arguably one of Britain's finest bands and one of the only acts to survive the trip-hop boom of the early 90s with their credibility intact. Unafraidto experiment and change their sound with each subsequent release, this compiles tracks from their four studio albums to date including the classics 'Cotton Wool', 'Gorecki', 'B Line' and the sublime 'Gabriel'.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing!, 3 Oct 2005
By M. Petty "molldoll_21" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The first time I heard Lamb, was a couple of months ago when a friend of mine played me Gorecki (beautiful song!) I was so impressed with the song I ordered 'Best Kept Secrets' and it is the best purchase I've made in years. If you like the kind of alternative music, e.g. Massive Attack,Portishead etc then this album is for you. There's tracks that are slow, and a different kind of romantic. Then there's tracks that are a bit drum and base-like. There is everything on this album, it makes me cry, it makes me happy. This CD is the one I want played at my wedding, also my funeral. Not only are the songs themselves so amazing, but the lyrics are so simple yet beautiful you can't help but relate to most of the tracks. This album is more than amazing, I can't think of a word to best describe it...Buy it and see for yourself. I apologise now if its not your thing, but in my opinion its a beautiful, exciting album that makes you want to put it on repeat over and over again...

5.0 out of 5 stars lamb greatest hits, 17 Nov 2006
By Nicholas Garner - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
well what to say about this cd?
when i first got this cd i had only heard the song angelica before which i absolutely loved so much it made me buy the greatest hits.
when i first bought this album it took some listening to to get used to, but my god now it is one of my favourite cds, i can listen to this cd again and again. all the songs are so different in pace and melody, some songs been just in a state of pure idilic ecstacy while others have eclectic beats to rock youre socks off mostly having the very haunting vocals of the female singer, and ill tell you now her vocals are soomething else, very nice to listen to.

so without further ado get this cd!!! if you havent heard much of lamb before then this is the perfect starting point. this will make you want to buy everything lamb, but if you like this dont buy the remix cd (a few songs are good on it but not many)
