Hit: 5 Stars
I came across this disc recently in the used bins at a local music shop and fell in love with the CD immediately. The first time I listened to it was while riding my bike on a Sunday morning, it totally energized me, pumped me up and increased my tempo. Even the slow jams kept me going strong. The music is awesome, reminiscent at times of Sade with that slow seductive groove that keeps you begging for more. I love the whole album but certain songs are a cut above the rest like "Low Tide of the Night" that could very easily be a song you might hear on a smooth jazz station, it is pure smooth groove, "Five Fanthoms that begins with the techno-thump-thump and features some very cool vocals that evokes the dance floor days of Donna Summer, the Sadesque "Downhill Racer" that is a perfect downtempo groove and the Deep Dish groove of " The Future of the Future" that is a retro-dance-hall-jam that gets you going. A curious feature of this disc is how they manage to work in drum 'n bass grooves into many of the songs including the nearly pure instrumental(only occasional trailing voice echoes)"Compression" that is an upbeat tight song or "Blame" which has a hyper-kenetic beat. All in all this is an excellent bit of electronica that is very appealing and recommended for working out at the gym, playing for some friends before dinner or just kick'n it; it is good stuff anytime, any mood.
Temperamental Poster
Japanese Version featuring Bonus TracksCool but not chilly at all, Everything but the Girl's Temperamental is the sound of the sweetest melancholy. Tracey Thorn's lyrics and vocals here are among her most affecting, tracing patterns of loss, loneliness, and a slightly unsettled happiness. This electronic pop makes for the perfect winter sound, as warm and bracing as a sip of cognac. --Rickey Wright
Temperamental is ample evidence of Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn's continuing evolution from an acoustic-guitar-based pair of comfortably suburban love griots to acoustically accomplished soundscape explorers who still have a weakness for a pleading melody. After Todd Terry's remix of "Missing" (from Amplified Heart) revitalized the duo, Watt took the opportunity to open their sound up to the clubs, all the while managing to retain the sense of warmth against which so much anonymously ironic dance music actively rebels. In doing so, Watt managed to create a bed of music that mirrors and complements Thorn's impossibly expressive, flat vocals. Though it carries EBTG's sound farther away from their deep roots, a good half of the songs on Temperamental still sound right at home next to their earlier acoustic work ("Hatfield 1980," "Low Tide of the Night," and "Lullaby of Clubland," which straddles the gap)--and those that don't ("Blame," the instrumental "Compression") are more than enjoyable on their own terms. --Randy Silver
