Comments for Ambitious Lovers, Lust

The Ambitious Lovers? Aren't they the ones who accidentally killed themselves live on stage whilst trying to replicate one of the more spectacular positions in the "Kama Sutra"?

A softening of the attack of the out of print Envy and Greed albums, which some consider a blessing given Arto Lindsay''s guitar and vocal styles, but for me it loses something crucial. It''s still a solid, soundscap-y album with several wonderful songs (including a cover of Jorge Ben''s "Umbabarauma (Ponta De Lanca Africana)" that almost vies with the original) and never less than entertaining, but where the others kick ass, this one coasts. A good one, and easy to find used, but seek out the first two, or try Lindsay''s more recent albums on Bar/None.

More quirky funk and guitar noise. More introspective song-writing, a bit more sensitive. Can`t lose those pop hooks,though! Great production.
