Lush, sublime, completely original and so special; I love this album for so many reasons. It's perfect music for it's pure unadulterated listening pleasure, and also perfect for whatever time on a sunday/monday/tuesday when you get home :) The uplifting joy that fills all the tracks is something I have not heard captured so well by any other album; certainly some artists come close, exceed even, but for what this album represents - folk-electonica-acid house -whatever label you care to add - it is awesome, and still as great 20 years after it's release.The lyrics to the two tracks which have vocals reprinted in the sleeve ('Kingdom' & 'Happy Land') are a grand nod to English power/class struggles, a really fresh approach to anti-establishment music culture (for me at least.) And there is the downright funk of 'English Heritage', 'The Badger' & 'Dizzy Fox' (with ace weird-out vocal samples.) I have played tracks off this album all over the place and they always get people's feet moving, and played the album as a whole at the party-after-the-after-party and again everyone loves it.With the current surge in 'electro-swing' (Kormac, Caravan Palace etc.) and artists like Spoonbill making waves, Ultramarine deserve a nod for making this beautiful music when the ideas of such genres where just that; ideas.5 stars and a big smile!
