Vinyl: Everything But The Girl, Walking Wounded LP. (Virgin Records. 1996.) [Vinyl]

This is one of the crown jewels in my collection but I need money so up it goes. Extremely hard to find and highly coveted by vinyl collectors. I love this album so much and once I'm flush again I'll shell out big bucks to get it back into my collection. But now's your chance to snag a copy. Everything But The Girl's first all electronic album, Walking Wounded, is considered a watershed electronic album in the mid 1990's. They followed it with the equally excellent Temperamental in 1999, and haven't released an album of new material since. There is some crackling in parts of the record but overall it plays great with no skipping. The cover is in near mint condition with no spine splits, with a small price tag on the front, and a small "MADE IN THE U.K" sticker on the back. Includes inner sleeve as well, which has small splits on 2 sides.

With Walking Wounded , Everything but the Girl puts an acceptable face on trip-hop, jungle, and techno, opening up the world of experimental dance music

to a new audience. At its core, Everything but the Girl is a pop group, which means it automatically abandons the free-form song structures that characterize

most of trip-hop and techno. In a sense, that dilutes the impact of the music, but the duo found a way around that by seamlessly incorporating the rhythms into

carefully crafted songs. They work the same ground as Massive Attack , but their songwriting is more accessible and less adventurous than the groundbreaking

Bristol group. Furthermore, Everything but the Girl never approaches the tarnished glamour of Portishead , the kineticism of Björk , or the brilliantly evocative

soundscapes of Tricky . Essentially, the beats are used as window dressing -- the group's music hasn't changed that much.
