COLLECTION 3 SET CD ON THIS ENGLISH DUO.

If you are a newcomer to this duo's camp, I cannot recommend this three-disc Rhino collection more highly. Considering that their music is still, more or less, unheard of in these United States save for smooth jazz formats on el radio, this is a very wise investment for the individual who wants to purchase a good taste of them without the hassle of procuring all their albums. I myself only possess three, and one is on vinyl! You get a taste of everything from the mid-80s to the mid-90s, and it's all a pure pleasure to hear.

Ben Watt and Tracey Thorne dabble in gentle new wave flavored pop, 60s soul, and smooth jazz with a stylishly cool flair that only the Brits can pull off. They are sophisticated beatniks, classy slobs, and coolly passionate. Complete with their everyday British life lyrics, they are like the philosophers of lounge music. Their voices are so similar that their harmonies are almost heavenly, and Tracey's voice alone is one that some of the most polished female pop performers couldn't garner with years of training.

Check out great standouts like "Each and Every One," "Are You Trying to Be Funny?," "Cross My Heart," ---well, there are simply too many. I love their casual smoothness mixed with their British reserve and passionate lyrics. If you like Swing Out Sister, Sade, or Spandau Ballet's True album, you need this EBTG collection. I promise that you won't be disappointed. I play mine constantly!
