referencing Londinium, CD, Album, 524 285 - 2, ARKCD 1001

As far as triphop goes, this has got to be one of the most underestimated albums ever! Right up there with Portishead's "dummy", Lamb's first album and Massive Attack.
It is a very strong combination of beautiful female vocals and a male hiphop vocalist. At first this causes friction, but after a few times you won't have it any other way.
Also the keyboard solos at the end of most tracks are overwhelming, reminding me of the best Pink Floyd stuff.
This album should have been a classic!
They also released a second album after having split up and then joining forces again, but it can't even stand in the shadow of "londinium". It clearly suffers from the "musical differences" that caused them to split up in the first place.
