are a trip-hop trio formed in Reading, England, in 1995, following the success of Portishead's Dummy and Tricky's Maxinquaye. Borrowing heavily from Portishead and Massive Attack, pursued a trancelike but edgy sound, highlighted by Kelli Dayton's soulful vocals.

The ground beneath your feet,
Laid out low, nothing to go
Nowhere a way to meet
I’ve got a head full of drought,
Down here, so faroff losing out

I know the comparisons between and Ian Curtis are inevitable, and have been made my far more knowledgable people than myself when it comes to music, but I actually think outshines anything Joy Division ever did with this Best Of.

[...] is undoubtedly 's Love Will Tear Us Apart, an intellegent, melancholy affair. But whereas Curtis only ever recorded two albums, is on to at least his 15th (that I own anyway). The Curtis/ arguments will continue to rage across the music press, but, for me at least, with this collection will leave no one in any doubt as to who is the greatest. It's , by the way.

My new girlfriend lent me this album, she said her ex-boyfriend gave it to her and things went downhill betweeen them from there. I must say that I would beg to differ with those who hold in the "genius" category, indeed on listening to his music I would say the words "wool", "eyes", "pulling" and "over" spring to mind. Nevertheless, I wish him the best of luck in having got this far with such an astounding lack of talent. Okay, back to the gardening forum..

Took the day off work to wait for the postman to arrive with my copy of this blinder. I slammed up the volume as loud as I could and blew my brains away with [...].

Wow what an opener. Despite already owning 38 copies of this CD every new purchase is like giving myself a birthday treat.

I was pleased to find my personal favourite [...] making a reappearence on the CD. A classic I havent heard since I saw perform on [.....] '92.

After melting the CD from over playing and rewinding the damn thing I bought another. A must have.

Here it is, ten days after this album first arrived on my doorstep. The only time it has left my CD player was to move it to yet another cd player. This usually happens about twice a day. Once in the morning, when I wake up after listening to it in my sleep, I need to take it to my CDman so I can listen to it in the car and then secretly at work. Then, a second time I take it out of my CDman and place it back into my home stereo. So, all in all, it has probably been listened to, on average, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and about 15 seconds, give or take, each day. During that span of 14,392.5 minutes, my life has forever changed. My first child was conceived and born, I got a promotion to my dream job (Cheif of security at the mall), AND I finally filled that void that had been left in my heart since the day I was born. I tried to fill that hole with Jesus, Buddha, Shatner, and Allah. But now I know, only has that power. The power to move you in ways you've never imagined. The power to rock your socks off. The power love. Thanks , thanks for everything.

American dream, January 25, 2005
Reviewer: Al-Zarquarwi (Baghdad, Iraq) - See all my reviews

I used to be an Iraqi insurgent but after attacking and blowing up the lastest road block I stumbled upon what I can only describe as nirvana - 's greatest hits. Why oh why was this walking god amongst men not sent to us before? When I played it on a looted stereo I was instantly struck by the melodies that could only have been sent to earth by angels, I was sent into a frenzy of excitation that could only be previously achieved by shooting Americans.

I have now given up my bloody resistance and have pledged to become German.

The track [...]' is particularly good.

Stop the sarcasm!, April 26, 2005
Reviewer: Andy Sands "Sandyandy" (London) - See all my reviews

I am so tired of reading mocking reviews of 's albums.
Someone needs to seriously review his works and as a true fan, no irony, no mock liking, I am the man for that particular job.
's album is an eclectic mix of tender love songs, inspiring power ballads and uplifting rock numbers.
Each song has its own special energy and listening to this album takes you on something of an emotional rollercoaster.
I cannot go into each song here as I would end up writing a very long review indeed, but highlights for me include [...], an uplifting song which makes you feel capable of achieving anything, and [...], a sad song which touches my own lonely heart too too closely.
I think it is very sad that these songs are mocked for being too "80's" or "uncool" or whatever it is the kids say about them. A man gets up and sings from his heart and soul and people merely laugh at him. This world is far too cynical.
Verdict: Remarkable

*****

No, dear reader, it certainly does NOT get any better than this!

I've read the other reviews here of this album and I know that one or two of the good reviews are people just being sarcastic.

My guess is that those reviewers haven't truly heard and experienced the music of ! I pity them, but I must admit, I too was skeptical before I first heard this CD.

The day I first heard this CD, I now refer to it as my own personal D-Day. ( Day, of course.)I was dating a German girl named Gretchen and she forced me to listen to it during one of our dates. I INSTANTLY fell in love (not in a gay way)with the music and went out the next day and bought my own copy of this album. Gretchen may now be long gone from my life, but I'll always be thankful to her for turning me on to this wonderful music.

I still listen to this cd at least once a week. A great time to play it is right before I have a date. I'll put the cd on and then stand in front of my mirror and lip sync to the songs. I pretend that I'm and before you know it, a magical change takes place. Suddenly I feel like I really AM ! At that point I'm totally oozing charm and coolness and I'm ready for my date - or anything that the world can throw at me!

There's not a lot of music than can affect people like that. Buy this cd and you'll know what I'm talking about.

P.S. - Thank you,

P.S. #2 - Thank you God for giving us

Na de gevreesde drumsolo - is de meest inadequate houthakker die ooit in een topgroep achter de kit heeft mogen plaatsnemen - eiste zijn moment van glorie met een eindeloos voortmeanderend gitaarniemandalletje, nadat hij zijn onvermogen als leadvocalist meermaals had gedemonstreerd.
