What Are You Listening To?

[Tiggi]

Debut proper from Size's band, from 1997.

This one was an early Mercury Music Prize winner, which is just about the only awards system with any shred of credibility in my view.

From the same Bristol scene that produced Portishead, Massive Attack, Tricky, Goldfrapp, and others, but Size's music was Drum & Bass rather than Trip Hop.

Has a Jazzy feel, primarily due to the use of upright Bass, but the skittering percussion, and sparse arrangements are pure D&B.

Good album in a genre I don't often visit.


RoviMusic 5/5 stars.
