From their underrated “Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned” album, “Girls” is a breaky pounder, ahead of it’s time, sonically (what else do you expect from Liam Howlett?) Their first album since the legendary “Fat Of The Land” album, it was a departure from the previous format, having been entirely produced by Liam Howlett. With Leeroy having left the group and Keith & Maxim not featuring, it’s ultimately a solo album – Keith tried his own hand as a solo producer around the same time, producing a pretty bad slowed down screwed version of Firestarter.
Thankfully, the group reformed (unofficially, as they’d never broken up) and came through with their “Invaders Must Die” project, cementing them as one of the key electronic groups in the UK.
Three’s a (loud) crowd
