Lamb (Debut Album)

Rolling Stone (3/6/97, p.72) - 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...the duo creates a startling tryst of electronic experimentation and traditional songwriting structure....Barlow's beats morph and churn like some ballet-trained monster, while Rhodes' dramatic, smoky voice sails effortlessly overhead..." Entertainment Weekly (5/16/97, p.117) - "...Her haunting whisper cuts through the mix, giving the grooves and intimacy more attuned to smoke-filled jazz clubs than open-air raves." - Rating: B+ Q (12/96, pp.136-138) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...(Lamb) truly exemplify the fluctuating tensions between song form and jungle's undulating rhythms....bass guitar posing counterpoint melodies and Rhodes' dry, haunted vocal floating over the top..." Muzik (11/96, p.127) - 4.5 out of 5 - "...combines genres, sonics and emotions....this lot has got it down to an art form. You can leave those drum'n'bass Portishead comparisons back in the marketing meetings....Lamb by name. Definitely not sheep by nature."
