Adrien Luxey aaaaaay thx :D

[@Adisaboss]

My pleasure. Thanks for the sublime upload!

[@barryellis1543]

Wow, Christy Moore Ride on cover is amazing. With the singers name too Bronagh Slevin she's definitely either Irish or had Irish parents.

[@jamdun3043]

One of my top 3 trip-hop albums :)

[@Down10]

This is a hidden gem of '90s-era trip hop. You'd think being on Jive Records, it would have gotten more publicity.

[@2007enthusiast]

Face The Waves is absolute 90s downtempo perfection.

[@dev_willis]

One of the best albums ever recorded.

[@robveenenberg7053]

Yes one of the very very best ever, so timeless and magical almost hypnotic surrealistic

[@yima2129]

I read 1q84 by Murakami Haruki with these brilliant record as background music when i was in college.

[@urgadurga]

Trip Hop is the most "nocturnal" genre I know of. It feels tailor made for late at night, when the world around you is quiet and empty.

one of the best discs i ever owned... glad to have found it here on YT

[@funkymonk8240]

The 90's....the god damn 90s!

[@Q5M4]

After the production of the EP stuff, they put out this album..and that was it, to this day these songs are used in compilations of chill sessions, lounge and trip-hop...I saw some albums that were created before Crustation's Bloom, I think it has fallen apart long before we even knew it existed. The singer has a book out, has a facebook account too if you wanna check her, the other guys...no trace

[@arturonietosegura9640]

Es una pena que no se encentren estas canciones en Spotify. Conocí la canción de Purple por una prima que le gustaba el estilo Dark. Pagaría por encontrarlos en Spotify. Lo bueno que KZbin a permitido conservar esta maravillosa música. Saludos desde México.

[@larsvonlennep7789]

wow...I'm listening to that tune first day again after 20 years ! Remember how I loved it in the past and...wow...it's still fabulous. feels great. If I could make a wish...give me a time machine to discover UK's music scene of the 90ties !

[@WestboundPromo416]

Excellent comment 90s had the best vibes to me

[@ElSoloNoco]

Yup. Mainly Bristol. So much great Trip Hop music came from Bristol, I remember I went there one time to see a gameshow Deal Or No Deal be filmed with my college, really nice architecture out there, I'd love to go back one time

the lost masterpiece of Trip-hop~~

[@kevinnichols5235]

Potroh...had to leave this message mate. I've had "Down, Down", for quite a while before getting to burn and listen to it from my music locker. Slevin's vocals with the same vibez off Sneaker Pimps and Portishead via the production on this are GEM precious. I truly appreciate the upload.....

[@ulteriorreignsupreme]

It's hard to get more 90s than this 10/10🙌🏼

[@El-Gucher]

Flame is a lost 90s anthem. I really don't get why they disbanded. They would've been massive

[@Brinoctopus]

agustin oviedo I honestly believe this to be true.

[@voidance]

They got scared because they were getting too famous, same as Monk & Canatella; none of them were ready for it.

[@hexyko4850]

@@voidance This album isn't very well known, I think this was just a one off... happens all the time

[@Risingson2]

@@hexyko4850 it is funny because the album is not very well known NOW (the electronic music canon is very reductive), but it was very present on (indie) radio stations back then, and Crustation was in many compilations of the era so they had a lot of exposure. I mean, Jive was the album label!

[@missnordstern2119]

♥ How much I loved them in the 90ies, still brilliant! ♥

[@Yungtacosss]

I remember discovering this album 3 years ago and it brings back so many memories of that time in my life now, crazy...

[@TalesGonsalves]

The one good thing about not being on Spotify is that i don't hear it so often. So when i do, it feels soooo fresh... ^^

Flame (Mood II Swing Vocal Mix) 🔊🔊🔊 brought me here

[@PanHoover]

One of the girls from university times have played this to my ears. I had a crash on her, even when I was in serious relationship. If you see this, Agata, feel free to write to me. Why not? And this album is just a hidden gem of the game.

[@PanHoover]

Haha. I forgot I wrote this. Well, she did not write to me.

God¡ I can't deal with this situation. This is SO good! Trip hop baby!

[@brayanfloresramirez8764]

+Lúa Roque This album is amazing. Bad it's they are not as popular as Massive or Tricky, because they are on the same level!

***** yeah definitely! It's a shame...Imagine if they would did more albums, probably they were more famous. But well...we're to know them :)

[@Stirners]

I dont know, this guys are good but Massive attack and Tricky are better...there's not point of comparation.

[@El-Gucher]

Max Stirner In music there is no better or worse . Its all matter of taste.

[@rubenrojasvocal4295]

Good trip hop! And I like Your musical taste, where are you from?

[@JizzleMaFizzle]

I just find it hard to accept that this was just a one-off for everybody involved. It's not like other debut albums, it feels like they're holding back and not throwing all of their talent at it in one go, which means that they probably could have made a long steady stream of good albums like Portishead did. OH WELL

[@Bmanritchie]

Now this is an album to can satisfy one's earholes...

Overlooked album, thanks

[@CivilianJournalist]

Real real shame this album is not OFFICIALLY available via KZbin Music, and auto generated as a KZbin Topic channel, so that we could get all 10 tracks released in good quality. Don't know if there's a rights issue or what, since Jive's catalog has been bought out many times, but someone fix that ish lol. P.S. If anyone says "It's on Spotify!" I have never used, know "how to" utilize, nor care to use Spotify. To me KZbin/Music > Spotify

FINALLY found her! i fell in love with her 1st time i heard her in one of Mac Miller's song since then i was on a mission to find her bc there was no single credit given to her

[@MrHzi]

Which MM-song is it?

[@BronzeBoxer_]

@@MrHzi J Dilla made a remix of the Purple called “Purple (ATCQ Remix)” which is an absolutely amazing song in its own right. That was sometime in the 2000s. Mac Miller rapped over that remix in the early 2010s. Just search “Mac Miller Purple”. I personally would suggest you listen to the J Dilla version first because it’s such a masterpiece.
