Album Notes & Community Reviews

Building upon the quirkiness of their debut, the synth-pop duo crafted a highly successful sophomore album that elegantly integrates Middle Eastern and Indian musical elements. The inclusion of tabla and sitar on hits like 'Don't Tell Me' distinguished them from the more traditional electronic acts of the era. The record also features a surprisingly reverent, heavily synthesized cover of ABBA's 'The Day Before You Came'.
