Product Description

CD Description

Second album from enigmatic Northern female duo signed to Depeche Mode guitarist Martin Gore's Toast Hawaii label. Deeply in thrall to the synthpop sound of the 80s, this album, full of abrasive keyboards, tinny drum machines and cool, insouciant vocals, sounds like it could have been recorded twenty years ago. Featuring guest vocals from the Libertines' Pete Doherty and Carl Barat, and Gore himself, it includes thesingle 'Radio'.

5.0 out of 5 stars I watch the stars come out, 28 Sep 2004
By A Customer
For anyone who loved Dubstar then it's hard not to miss those sad, rich, epic songs. As promising as Client's first LP was the rigidity of it's electroclashy-ness (the stark spoken vocals and unfeeling melodies) reminded me of how much I loved and missed Ms Blackwood as a singer and how much this new electro movement needed some classic songwriters.
On City that heartbreaking northern torchsinger voice is back - and with the songs to match. This is a thrilling album, warm and melodic yet still staunchly electronic. A balance of bouncy danceable pop with sleazy beats, lyrical wit, and several epic tear jerkers. The programming has lost the closed coldness of the first record and is expansive, assured and sonically thrilling. It's addictive and easy to fall in love with.
Client have made a truly great electropop album and one of the best records of the year.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Electropop, 16 Feb 2007
By M. Marshall - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this album on a whim, being unfamiliar with their other work, and overall I think it's money well-spent. The best way I can think to describe Client's music is the Human League minus Phil Oakey, the songs being predominantly poppy with a smattering of slower tracks (Chill of October and the anthemic One Day at a Time) and rockier numbers (Pornography, Down to the Underground) - the inclusion of male guest stars on the latter is genuinely beneficial to the tracks in question and not just a marketing ploy. Where it does sometimes stumble is with the lyrics, the usual girlie obsession with non-platonic relationships producing such grim lyrical efforts as "come on now baby, just come on", "and I want you, yeah", "I want you just to call me baby" etc. Although Client aren't in the same league as the mighty Ladytron most fans of electronica will probably benefit from checking them out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but maybe not what I was hoping for, 28 April 2006
By A. Wong (Wychnor, Staffs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As someone who loved Dubstar (their 1st album being one of my all time favourites), I couldn't resist buying both this and their debut album. The debut sounds like a backlash against the soothing tones of dubstar, being somewhat full of harsh keyboard noises and monotonic vocals. I have to say I was disappointed even if Sarah Blackwoods vocals still send a shiver down my spine. This album would suit Dubstar fans better - it still has sounds that remind me of black cebration era Depeche Mode but there are songs that grow on you. It's not as stark an album as their first and even though it's not in anyway shape or form wistful like dubstar were, it's definitely worth a try.
