Everything But the Girl - Fuse (Deluxe Edition) CD+BD
Po dlhšej prestávke, ktorá trvala viac ako 20 rokov, je najoriginálnejšie popové duo 90. rokov späť, aby znovu získalo svoju slávu na svojom novom albume Fuse. Album, v ktorom Everything But The Girl poskytuje moderný pohľad na lesklú elektronickú dušu, ktorú skupina prvýkrát objavila v polovici 90. rokov, pričom zostala úplne verná klubovo orientovanej trajektórii, ktorú zanechali na svojich kľúčových albumoch Walking Wounded (1996) a Temperamental. (1999), bez toho, aby to znelo čo i len vzdialenejšie. Thornov pôsobivý a bohato štruktúrovaný hlas je opäť raz v popredí vo Wattovej trblietavej krajine subbasov, ostrých beatov, poloosvetlených syntetizátorov a prázdneho priestoru, a ako predtým, výsledkom je zvuk kapely, ktorý je pohodlný a zároveň zvukovo súčasný. , no nestarnúce sami sebou.
