Got hold of the latest Red Snapper album yesterday - it seems pretty good, quite a bit harder than the previous albums. They've also got a jungle MC to toast over a few of the tracks, which works pretty well, and some Shara Nelson-ish woman to sing on a few others. Actually, I'm not too keen on the stuff she's done - it's all a bit histrionic and mannered if you ask me. One of the tracks she's on, Image of you, would be great if it wasn't for the slightly over the top vocals - it sounds like she's just trying too hard. Nonetheless, I think this track could actually be pretty big (though it might blow their underground cred right out of the water if it is). Anyway, the rest of the album sounds pretty good.
