Everything but the Girl's new album, "Walking Wounded", out now - it has lots
of IDM-related styles, from slow Massive Attack-like torch songs and housey
tracks to Spring Heel Jack-produced melocholic jungle and Howie B's trademark
remix sound (think "Hyper-ballad"). Comes with one remix by Todd terry and one
by Omni Trio.
Quite nice, especially if you're an EBTG fan to begin with. (Not sure about
their other albums, but "Idlewild" at least was a classic.) Kind of funny
realizing that Ben Watt is actually doing jungle drum programming now. It's
like Morrissey coming up with a trip hop tune. (Then again, there's that
Silverfish woman turning into Ruby.)
I'm also guessing that "Walking Wounded" the single could be the intro to
jungle for a lot of people, who might buy the album based on the hit "Missing".
On now: EBTG: Wrong (Todd Terry mix)
