Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
'An appreciation of contradiction', as described within the sleeve notes of Lamb's eponymously titled debut album, acts as the first clue to content. Andy Barlow's competent production embraces the best elements of a number of genres, sounding full even in the more stripped down pieces while working with as opposed to crowding out Louise Rhodes' claustrophobic songwriting. The music itself makes for a fascinating hybrid. The dubbed analogues of 'Trans Fatty Acid' grate against the complex beats and pensive lyrics of 'Cotton Wool'. Whereas the haunting vocals of 'Feela,' which absorb a simple piano movement with washes of reverbed feedback, kept in check by brooding strings. A chance encounter in a Manchester studio lead to a stunning debut...wintry vocals backed with all that is good about drum and bass. --Kingsley Marshall

- Criminally neglectedThe ironic thing is, I was living in the next street to singer Louise Rhodes in Didsbury, Manchester and used to see her around. The fact that someone just a few hundred yards away could produce an album as good as this is quite mind-blowing (but that's Manchester for you).
If it only had 'Gorecki' - a song that would be No.1 for weeks in any sane world - it would be great. That song is hopefully going to get some overdue recognition after being used in the TV ad for the new Tomb Raider ... Read More

- 'What a find'I found this in a local charity shop and paid 99p out of curiousity. I certainly wasn't disappointed with this intelligent mix of genres and some heart wrenchingly sublime tracks such as 'Zero' and 'Gorecki'. This album has also educated my teenage son to appreciate the diversity of Drum & Bass- its definately my find of the year.

- TravestyAfter giving my other copy to a good friend I urgently got online to replace this album. I was curious however to see what people thought of the album even though I am definitely re-buying it. I was amazed or should I say dismayed to see a good few people giving this album 1 star...what?!? In my opinion Lamb are (were)an amazing duo, beats were tight and however you see the lyrics which I don't think are up for question, Lou Rhodes voice is simple superior to most female vocalists out there, anyone who ...

- Yawn. More Limp than lamb.Drum and bass has become so dated it's shocking. This example is like a damp and female version of the much superior Roni Size, so obviously pointless. The lyrics and voice sound misplaced with unoriginal drumbeats. But the lyrics! They are so bad, even a fifth form schoolgirl would feel embarrassed if someone read them in her diary. There is one 3 star track, the others never rate more than a generous 1 star. And there's apparently a 'best of' album too! Recently Massive Attack has a 'best of' album that ... Read More

- I really want to like thisi grew up on jungle / drum n bass, now listen to mainly jazz and instrumental hip hop, with a spattering of anti-folk after a few beers. all things ninja and jazz fudge are my main listening pleasure. i really wanted to like this, I was hoping for the vibe of morcheeba fuzed with harsher breakbeats and to be honest, that isnt far off. i guess either it or i am a bit old now as it just doesnt quite hit the spot. i would have loved this when it came out, shame i missed it at the time.
