4.0 out of 5 stars A partnership made in..?, May 6, 2001

Tim Booth of James, and Angelo Badalamenti, frequent composer for David Lynch films, team up here in an album that is simulatenously experimental and accesible. "Pop sensibility" flows together, as these two musicians, so much alike in tone and flavor, create some really moving music. Sometimes a bit moody, sometimes a miss here or there, I get the feeling that some of the stronger songs aren't hit/radio friendly simply because they're too literate (or depressing..)

5.0 out of 5 stars An instant classic, November 24, 1999

This is a stunning collaboration, featuring a stack of tunes that are *all* potential favourites - that is, every one is like that track you wait for, that one you immediately want to hear again. Eerie atmostpheric backing vocals (e.g. on Dance of the Bad Angels) add a unique sound, as does Butler's twisted guitar. This has everything - lyrics, melody, and that indefinable quality 'class'. Hard to imagine anyone not becoming addicted after a few play-throughs.

I am listening to this CD now after several months of it being put away. It is an amazing combination. I purchased the CD when it came out and never thought that the combination would work. Tim Booth has such and incredible voice that is so light it almost glows. Angelo Badalmenti, a composer from Twin Peaks, has such a distinctive sound that is somewhat dark. It totally works on this CD, however, and the result is simply incredible. I wish that they had done more music together. The name of the band is completely perfect and the CD is not far behind in it's perfection.
