Everything But The Girl: Ben Watt (vocals, acoustic guitar, synthesizers, programming); Tracey Thorn (vocals).
Additional personnel: Howie B (programming, scratches); Spring Heel Jack (programming).
Producers: Ben Watt, Spring Heel Jack, Howie B, Todd Terry, Omni Trio.
Engineers include: Ben Watt, Mads Bjerke, Matthius H.
Recorded at Little Joey's, Milo and The Strongroom, London, England in 1995.
Ben and Tracey went clubbing last night and decided to go straight from the dance floor to the studio. They emerge with WALKING WOUNDED, an album that features Tracey's plaintive vocals backed by layers of electronic percussion. Tracey's soul-baring singing pulls you into the songs--we ride with her atop waves of drum beats and dreamy orchestrations in dance styles that vary from jungle to hip-hop to house. The combination brings about an interesting sensation: The beats move your feet while her wistful voice eases you into a state of relaxation. Melody and melancholy are wrapped together in these dance-sized pieces. So are crossover and hit: In Europe, a remix of the title song was the first true pop/jungle hit. (Simultaneously in the U.S., a remix of "Missing," a track from the band's previous album, AMPLIFIED HEART, stayed on the Billboard pop chart for more than a year, longer than any single in Billboard history.)
