Saint Etienne - shad thames, 1997

"Some may say this album feels scattered or unfocused. But to me it has a strangely cohesive flow for how it ambitiously blends a of sort of minimalistic electronic-pop-folk sound with strong eurohouse, trip-hop, drum n bass influences. Saint Etienne creates some of the most interesting, sophisticated, magical, rich soundscapes I have ever had the pleasure of hearing."
