It's difficult to fault Mojave 3 for hanging their hat on the same old peg while they're cranking out pearls like this. All of their albums manage to be both utterly classicist and utterly fresh and this one contains some of Halstead's finest compositions.
Like their debut album, this is an excellently produced album of sublime mid-tempo trip-hop. These summery grooves continually reference the breezier moments from Brazilian, Jamaican, French and Indian pop music.
Compiled by Cocteau Twins and remastered by Robin Guthrie, this collection is taken from their golden era which spanned seven LPs of studio material and nine singles and serves as an introduction to the delights of this remarkable band.
I guess sometimes i need to be reminded of how much you love me by Magnétophone
Released 09 October 2000
As an album inspired by the soulful vocals of Lovetta Pippin, this was always going to be a departure for HNIA. Although it delves deep into modern R&B, the spare, elegaic melancholy of the record manages to maintain a link to the moods of earlier, ethereal albums.
