UNKLE – Never, Never Land

Almost five years have passed since UNKLE’s debut album Psyence Fiction, one of the nineties’ more important and controversial musical releases which featured producer DJ Shadow, The Verve’s Richard Ashcroft and Mike D of the Beastie Boys on vocal duties.

On the long-awaited sophomore UNKLE endeavor, Stone Roses front man Ian Brown–whose Be There with UNKLE in 1998 went top ten–returns on the album’s lead-off single Reign with fellow Roses member Mani tending to bass. Long time friend and inspiration 3D (of Massive Attack) contributes to Invasion, Jarvis Cocker and Brian Eno duel with synths on I Need Something Stronger, Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age contributes a schizoid vocal over a bassquake on Safe In Mind and Joel Cadbury of South’s pretty Beatles-esque ballad Glow is the penultimate track. The album is rich in atmosphere, a lush cinematic experience in sensurround sound. If Psyence Fiction sounded like the future, Never Never Land is a post-apocalyptic travel log.
