Product Description

Amazon.ca

"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

Product Description

Out of print in the U.S.! 1997 debut by the Electronica duo who managed to successfully combine the sonic intensity of Drum 'N' Bass with the atmospheric torch-like melodies of bands like Portishead. 10 tracks including 'Lusty', 'Cottonwool' and 'God Bless'. Universal.

1.0 out of 5 stars amazing..........sike! Dec 16 2003

Format:Audio CD
Look, this is not what people make it out to be. Unfortunately I was duped into buying this waste of space on a cd shelf. It is not even close to Portishead, and is light years from Massive Attack. The Bjork-like comparisons could not be further from the truth. This act, like many others, is completely irrelevant in the world of music. Listen to your Portishead, Massive Attack, and Bjork albums...and stay far away from this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't listen to it alone....
Stark, haunting & dark. Best tracks for drum & bass lovers are "Lusty" and "Trans Fatty Acid," both holding up marvelously under repeated listenings. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars This Band Rocks
Lamb's cds (both Lamb and Fear of Fours) are amazingly great albums. I saw Lamb during their 2001 tour and the band is actually better in concert then on their cd. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Rather Dissapointing
After hearing the sublime tune Gorecki, I ran straight out to buy this album. I've been a fan of trip-hop for quite a while, and looked forward to listening to this whole debut. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars It isn't good
This music isn't good. I'm not saying that beacuse it's strange; I dig stuff a lot stranger. I'm not saying it because I don't like the genre; I like Portishead and Goldfrapp. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Fantastic!
Lamb really took me by surprize. Apparently released in 1996, this recording is both inventive, entertaining, thought provoking and intellengent! Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Massive Disappointment
After hearing a Lamb song on a Cafe del Mar compilation, I logged right on and bought the self titled CD. Ouch! Impulse buying strikes out again. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Luscious and wonderful!
This CD is luscious and wonderful.
The deep drum and bass beats lie underneath beautiful melodies, something that a lot of electronica music is missing. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars These guys are /so/ overrated.
Lou is an OK singer, for a pop music group, I suppose, but her voice is nowhere even close to the standard that the hype makes out. Read more
