I personally liked the Alex Gopher CD 'You, My Baby & I' on Astralwerks.
The openning track 'Time' is awesomelly soulful. However, the rest of the
CD is not so. It becomes trashy soon and it only succeeds when it takes
its trashiness tongue-in-cheek as in the excellent With U. The nadir
points of the CD are the slower more reggae-influenced tracks.
