    Night House World
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2023*

English duo Everything But The Girl hit big when "Missing", a track from their 1994 album "Amplified Heart", was given a dance remix and peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1996. On this 1999 album "Temperamental", fully embracing this house/electronica sound, the duo created an excellent album that spotlights that sound. This music is low on emotion and high on technical details of the music, and it lends itself to repetition and extended development of musical themes, perfect for night time activities. The duo adds other flavors to the basic mix. The title track "Temperamental", "Five Fathoms" and "Lullaby Of Clubland" are good examples of standard house tracks. "Low Tide Of The Night", "Downhill Racer" and "No Difference" lean toward soul music. "Hatfield 1980" has a bit of glitter sprinkled throughout.  "Compression" is a long (7:11) instrumental. It is my least favorite track, because the lack of a vocal and the repetition of the same musical line make it rather flat for me. The final track, a collaboration with Deep Dish, is "The Future Of The Future (Stay Gold)". It is quite a fugue (7:52), with pounding beat, prominent and varied percussion, rippling techno arpeggios and odd  background voices, electronically enhanced. The album vocals of Tracey Thorn are clear and restrained. Sometimes they make me think of the quiet soul vocals of Sade, and sometimes they are like chanting. Ben Watt - co-writer with Tracey Thorn, instrumentalist and chief producer -  backlights her vocals with arrangements which subtly reflect evening expectancy.The music serves as a good setting for the lyrical content of the album's songs. The action of many of the songs occurs at night, in and around "night life". The first line Tracey sings is "I walk the city late at night", and in the next song she is "...inside in the daytime, outside in the night time". In "Lullaby Of Clubland" she declares, "I want it if I know it's out there everywhere", then spots someone "...standing at the bar, don't know your name or who you are...I'm into you/When are you going home?/Get into me."  In "No Difference", her partner at home is being difficult, and she says "You watch the phone like it was the TV...Well me, I'm going out, with or without." There are sketches of relationships, usually works in progress, some beginning, some ending ("I'll take you home and make it easy", "I don't know what you want from me", "I know how hard it is to watch it go.") Another reality of urban life is related in "Hatfield 1980": "...scary at night time...I'm seeing my first knife, my first ambulance ride." Regardless of the weighty things happening, the general mood is rather detached. It is almost as if life in this world occurs in a perpetual fog where things remain safely vague for those who dwell inside. As the final track ends, the fog lifts a little: "Tomorrow will never come...What you gonna do about me NOW? It's so bright tonight." It sounds hopeful.

    Their best CD i own so far... i have 4 of them.
  

*by B***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2008*

Well to start off.... im listening to it right now.  Its what i listen to at work.. then i take it out of the player and right into my car it goes... strange thing is it never gets old.I found this group initially because of Tracy Thorne from massive attacks "Protection."  Then i realized they hosted the song Five Fathoms from this CD on the Hitch movie with Will Smith.  It was the song on the second club theme in the movie.  Its a good mix of low tempo to mid-high tempo beats, mellow vocals, with unique electronic sounds.  Since my purchase, I started to hear their music everywhere... most recently in JCPenny's.  Needless to say, i stayed in that same section until the song went off.If youre fighting yourself on this one.  fight no more!  make it the music choice of the day/week/month, whatever!

    Love this CD!
  

*by T***M on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2013*

I've realized that pretty much anything from Everything But the Girl is a must buy!  Just buy 3 more of these CDs and I instantly loved each of them as I'd had them for years.  Highly recommend this CD!I've recently discovered Tracey Thorn's (lead singer of this band) solo music too.  She's just as brilliant on her own as with her husband in Everything But the Girl.  Highly recommend her music too!
