Ben Watts and Tracey Thorn are the coolest couple in the universe. Forget Wills and Kate; forget Victoria and David; forget Beyonce and that bloke she's with; Ben and Tracey ARE the cool cats. I don't think they realise just how a regard a lot of people (myself included) have for them. From the bedsit pop of the 80s, the stuff Ben did with Robert Wyatt, the Home Movies album that got me through backpacking and university, the stuff Tracey did with Massive Attack and of course the Walking Wounded album, probably the most played album in the whole of my quite extensive music collection.
This is from the previous Temperamental album and has the Todd Terry makeover, it's a massively important record and just simply brilliant.
