The first record from the highly promising, Isle of Skye-based duo is a luxurious path through the Scottish landscape. It’s full of personality and a sense of proudness of the roots of traditional Scottish music. The fusion with modern electronic textures is effortless and the two juxtaposing genres coalesce extremely well. The melodies are quite simple yet provoking and enjoyable whilst the Gaelic language used throughout adds another dimension to this glossy LP. Really great debut album ... read more
This is a bit of a different review and i'd appreciate it if you gave this your patience for just two minutes. Just hit 50 followers so I thought i'd give my take on something that i've thought about regularly but never seen people talk about too often. This album title is perfect to link into the topic and this record just happens to be one of favourite albums of all time.

I can see why this was so groundbreaking when it first came out as it fuses together acid house, dance and psychedlia in a complex yet accessible way. Start of the 90's so the whole of this kind of sound/ genre was just springing up out of the ground and this album became a beacon for many bands. However, listening to this in 2021 when many bands and artists have delved deeper into crossing these genres such as Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses, it just doesn't carry the same weight. It doesn't ... read more
If you don't like messy, unconstrained albums then don't listen to this. Fatboy has taken everything from garage rock to african infused house and constructed a record with no limits on genre exploration. However, it backfires in parts as it's so hard to grasp the overall vibe of this album due to the ever-changing rhythms and soundscapes. Dull at times with injections of energy and funkiness give this a very awkward standing as i'm unsure on whether it's good and has its moments or is plain ... read more
