Album Notes & Community Reviews

Utilizing an elite group of British jazz-rock session musicians, the avant-garde composer delivered a deeply sensual, groove-oriented suite. The album places her unmistakable, detached spoken-word poetry over intensely hypnotic, slow-burning funk rhythms. It remains a fascinating, highly idiosyncratic outlier in her discography, successfully merging progressive jazz fusion with a sleazy, danceable art-pop aesthetic.
