User Reviews:
wilmer, May 23, 2003

The original european release misses the very cool Barrow & Dillinja remixes (which appeared later on the title tracks single version ) & so only has 10 trax, but the same cat # anyway.
The Baby Namboos are some Bristolian relatives of Tricky & the man himself helps them out in production, writing & guestspots on trax 3, 4 & 5.
Indeed some of these trax sound more like early Massive Attack & Tricky circa Maxinquaye then anything the originals did after their cutting edge debuts.
A special bow for vocalist Aurora Borealis (aka Zoe Bedaux). She is to the Namboos what Martine was to Tricky ; a delicate but powerful emotional force...
