Sneaker Pimps, 6 Underground from Becoming X (1996).

In 1996, I had a crush on Kelli Dayton Ali's voice. Her voice is an ASMR experience, for me. It sounds like that feeling after really good sex. It sounds like the taste of good whiskey and a cigarette. It sounds like . . . a moment.

"...THEY HAVE A COOL SENSE OF POP HOOKS AND AN EDGIER GUITAR ATTACK THAN THEIR PREDECESSORS."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on complete package design for the 1997 Clean Up Records version of "Becoming X" on CD, debut album by English trip-hop group SNEAKER PIMPS (originally released by Virgin Records in 1996).

OVERVIEW: ""Becoming X" is one of the most engaging byproducts of post-Portishead trip-hop. While the SNEAKER PIMPS don't have the doomed romanticism of PORTISHEAD or the nasty experimental tendencies of TRICKY, they have a cool sense of pop hooks and an edgier guitar attack than their predecessors. "Tesko Suicide" moves along with jagged guitars and rhythms, while "6 Underground" is coolly detached post-modern soul. "Becoming X" creates an airy, urban atmosphere, and while the record begins to unravel toward the end, it is an exciting, entrancing listen."

The 90's electronic dance music consisted of a lot of varied triumphs. Some sadly didn't do much later on despite the promise they showed. For instance, Sneaker Pimps' debut gave us a different band than whatever the consequent versions were. True, we can applaud the group for taking that much of a risk, yet did they really have to go all the way here? I get their reasons, though they could've done the same with the original lineup, which had a certain chemistry. Then again, would that have much difference in their fortunes thanks to the way the style they worked in turned later on? True, they were put in a trip hop bracket despite having their own niche there. Maybe the latter meant they felt free to follow their whim by abandoning their most famous sound.

Straw spun from gold

She craves a tortured soul

All doom and gloom

She plays an open wound

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible
