Trip hop moved to drum n bass rhythms around 1996 and Lamb were one of the main parties to drive that change. It is one of those lovely 90s pieces of music that mixed strings, syncopated rhythms, unique vocals and a lot of cinematic quality. Others like Baxter, Olive or even Everything But The Girl would follow - plus many bands that I forget -but this remains one of the most solid efforts of this genre, a genre I miss so so much. It will come back anyway and then I will hate it and say that the original albums were the best because I am already grumpy and that is life.
Gorecki and Trans Fatty Acid are the most well known ones but God Bless is the kind of james bondish tune I loved at the time and I still love so much. -

Edited 20 years agoBack when trip-hop was stagnating, Lamb came in and wiped the slate clean. WIth Louise Rhodes' bright Brogue vocals and Andy Barlow's keen sense of rhythm, their self-titled debut album was a breath of fresh air. From the string-laden drum 'n' bass of "God Bless" or the chaotic drum patterns and pseudo-Western guitar twangs of "Cotton Wool," the majority of the tracks shine with innovation. "Trans Fatty Acid" is a more sinister journey -- a dark love song; "Zero" is a more traditional love song. "Gold" is a little too reminiscent of the superior "Lusty," but the gorgeous and emotionally-charged "Gorecki" more than make up for any weaknesses. The hidden mix of "Cotton Wool" by Fila Brazillia is the gravy on this delicious cut of Lamb.
-
Fits comfortably with company like Massive Attack, Portishead and Shantel. I little edgier than most trip-hop, mostly due to the DnB flourishes, but more interesting because of it. Cotton wool and trans fatty acid are stand outs. -
Certainly a noteworthy release however the “less is more” approach could have been used a little more liberally, in some of the tracks no vocals would have made it a lot less cluttered.
