Competent and, at times, quite good downtempo from the German duo Mum. On their self-titled debut, they get the grooves going and don't fret much about the little stuff. "Zero Gravity" starts things funky and "Caught Like a Trout" keeps the Hammond organ kicking. "Body Surrender" falls headlong into future jazz territory; "Kronos" delves into drum 'n' bass; "Miss Defied" is a light, frothy spoken-word jazz confection. But, unfortunately, a good portion of the album is also unremarkable and passes by without so much as a dent. That's not to say that it's not good; it's just not memorable. Good for the background, but not for intense listening.

One of the greatest album covers of all time. The way it blends the sleazy with the maternal is just fantastic. Unfortunately the album itself isn't up to par with most of the releases on Klein.
