The voice is of the girl from Flunk (i'm not sure her name), but this album sounds very very similar to flunk's two.

This is one of the best trip-hop albums i own.This is trip-hop with "down" beats, really "ambiance", with a superb female voice.Go get it if you like trip-hop in general, it's really accessible.

Blue Foundation, with their self-titled debut on the esteemed April Records, mines the never-ending vein of jazzy trip-hop, and come up with a payload that's half gold, half coal. The ethereal vocals on "Wiseguy" sweep into an ominous, cinematic ending, while "Grand" keeps the dreaminess throughout. The group incorporates subtle scratching on their tracks, which adds some texture to the overall mellowness, but doesn't necessarily detract from the main event. When the MCs take the stage on "Witch of Trouble" and "Cutting Me Up," they don't fare as well, I'm afraid -- the hip-hop aspects then seem too contrived. But where they mix genres elsewhere, it comes off with more grace: the folksy guitars on "Crushed" meld with the heavier beats convincingly; the big band horns on "Hollywood" and the subdued funk bass on "Hide" add mystique. A strong effort, if imperfect.
