Our Search is Over, This CD is Wonderful!!!
author: Team Voorhees
We searched for this CD for years not remembering what the band's name is. Now it lives happily (and constantly) in the CD player alongside Worm is Green and Electrelane. Several of the songs are of equal trip-hop quality as songs by portishead, massive attack, etc. but more provocative and skillful. The rest of the album is still amazing, but less perfect than the few gems. If you like trip-hop and are extremely demanding of your music, this will not disappoint you. Dark and lilting, Interactive Family Radio is akin to a slow drive through the dreams of strangers.

Maybe you were going for a looser feel? but you already know how to nail that juicy controlled mania groove...something about these just feels beyond relaxed and moving into laziness? Even some intonation bizareness. I still love y'all, but please don't lose your chops! ciao, ls
