Golden Greats

Ian Brown

Deep, sample-driven grooves layered with mellotrons and organs. A murky, swaggering blend of urban psychedelia and deadpan northern cool.

November 1, 1999 · Polydor

A confident, murky urban mysticism that feels both grounded in the street and lost in the stars.

Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, distorted bassline of Golden Gaze locking into a hypnotic, circular groove.
The unexpected swell of strings and mellotron on Dolphins Were Monkeys that elevates the deadpan delivery.
The thirteen-minute immersive drift of The Fisherman closing the record in a wash of atmospheric texture.
