However, despite the longevity that was to come, this is a only mediocre debut offering, with little matching the impact of singles \"The Only One I Know\" and \"Then\". All the ingredients are in place: Tim Burgess' nasal drone, Collins' Hammond Organ and the groovy bass-lines, but it was only with 1994's Up To Our Hips that the band applied their undoubted mastery of the single to a longer work, and 1998's Melting Pot compilation is their most essential release. --Ronita Dutta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56376240701814,"sku":"0607618003029","price":13.21,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_317397_jpg.jpg?v=1759322634","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0607618003029-some-friendly","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
