referencing Solitaire, 2xLP, GC LP 116

Stunning second LP from Only Child, hip-hop-soul-house and a whole lot more...Grand Centrals finest drops the much anticipated follow up to Satelites and Constelations at long last, and he has come up with another Manc classic... Featuring guest vocals from the old favourites Veba and Kriminul from Da Jigmastas, our new favourite Niko and the excellent Amp Fiddler from Detroit, the album goes through many styles and tempos but always with loads of soul. The album sets out in style with the future classic U Bring Me Vibes with the genius vocals of Mr Fiddler, and is followed by Addicted, which is already kicking off on the dancefloor of every club Ive been to in the past couple of months - very big. Kathy Brown adds her lung power to Fall Downs uptempo disco-fied breaks. Memories is the albums first hip hop number, another that is getting big support on the radio with its soulful vocal sample and moody piano. Niko adds her vocals to the midtempo groove of Show Me Love, another funky floor filler with a few well edited samples. I Love You So and Loves Reprise show the effect of the Electric Chairs dancefloor madness - soulful house grooves that Osunlade would be proud of, before dropping the tempo for the beautiful The U In Me. Another uptempo disco groover follows before Amp Fiddler again appears on the downtempo Find A Way. The album draws to a close with another blissed out beats number. Great packaging too, check the cut out sleeve so you can play your own game of Solitaire. Justin has really pulled it out of the bag here, one of Grand Centrals best ever releases and sure to be at the top of plenty of those Best of 2003 lists. Everyone with an interest in new music needs this LP now!
