  • They Say...

    With an effortless grace unmatched by even their Skint labelmates, Lo-Fidelity Allstars segue between acid-house, hip-hop, punk, soul, and disco on their debut album. Previous high-energy singles like "Vision Incision" and "Kool Roc Bass" are included, along with new tracks like the surprising hi-NRG/electro fusion on "Lazer Sheep Dip Funk" and early-'80s funk reminiscent of Prince or Jamiroquai on "Battle Flag" (with Pigeonhed). On occasion however, the Allstars' attempt at a varied sound backfires; "I Used to Fall in Love" and "Vision Incision" are harshly distorted urban ballads with sub-Liam Gallagher whinging in place of vocals. [A "clean" version of How to Operate with a Blown Mind, containing no profanity or obscenity, was released in the U.S. during the summer of 1999.]
