<Confused...>

Looking at the album cover, I thought this was an old group.  A bit of an anachronistic audio-visual experience...

I think that lick is actually sampled from "Kamasutra" by Alberto Baldan Bembo, which also sounds a lot like the lick from "Heaven On Their Minds".

This has a mid-90s U2 sound to it that I'm not totally in to.

Good,  but I much prefer their Connected album. Now that's a true classic.

Saw them live in about 1999/2000 so so good live, Rob the singer has so much energy onstage and the 2 ladies sing the most beautiful harmonies

Wow, yes, the S MC's ... I bought this back when it first came out, having been totally rocked by their 1990 LP, Supernatural.  When it all shakes out, this will be hip-hop that stands the test of time.

If you like this, you might also like Propellerheads. The opposite is probably also true.

This grates on my nerves. However, I listen to RP for the variety & to be exposed to new songs. This just isn\'t one where I\'m tempted to go out & by the CD.

Speaking of which, it would be nice to hear some from JCSS soundtrack on RP.

Good tune. Come on people, variety is what makes RP worth while!! What do you want to hear, 90s music 24-7?

Quite likeable.....but souldn't this be labeled 'Running'? 'Traffic' is anudder tune altogether.

This is cool. Complex enough to be worth listening to again and again. As if Yes had a little brother who got a sampler and a drum machine for his birthday.
