A groovy little record. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes Tricky - Zero 7 - Morcheeba - Air.
Notable also since Greg Dulli covers
Too Tough To Die on the new Twilight Singers.
It's getting pretty sweet reviews too:
metacritic on Anything from tiny mix tapes: the Mercury Prize nominated Quixotic has been retooled, rearranged, and renamed for release in North America, for what should prove to be your immense listening pleasure. ...the now title track "Anything," has to be one of the most moving songs in trip-hop's elusive history. The album doesn't come off as gritty and dark as the original so much as it provides an eclectic-soul Air alternative. There is a wide range of natural instrumentation and studio tricks present on every track, channeled through various combinations of producers and guest appearances by Josh Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age), Mark Lanegan, and Tricky, who returns the favor in fine form. All this makes Anything every bit as interesting to listen to as it is nice to hear. As for Topley-Bird herself, she's got a voice that capably transcends Erykah Badu, Shirley Bassey, and Skye Edwards (Morcheeba) to establish herself among them. Plus, she writes most of her own lyrics and music, and logs a lot of time in the producer's seat adding myriad effects to earn your attention.
Quixotic was one of the best albums on the Europe last year and Anything will be one of the best here in 2004...
