I've been listening to this album all week, I just got it as a promo and remembered that the track " charles "( trk 12 ) was on a compilation called Pop Fiction released early in 97. the comp while being real good and having a version of Manna's " Our Heaven " that rules, made me look for a full length by beanfield. I was sceptical at first because on the cd itslelf and the cover it said " Music to Rave about " so i was frightened, but my fears were quickly killed. its a good album, very smooth, beat ridden, great to drive to..and so on.. not my album of the year but a cool album none the less. bb.
