Unfinished Money Business

Release Date: 09-05-2000

Details: Amazon.ca Former Stone Roses front man Ian Brown's first solo album, Unfinished Monkey Business is a lo-fi indie offering. A raw, slightly unfinished feel pervades throughout, which can probably be attributed to Brown's insistence on playing even those instruments with which he is not really an expert, lending the album an irresistible unrefined ambience. Brown and co-writer Aziz Ibrahim, who was briefly John Squire's replacement in the Roses, draw on influences from the East with the use of tabla on tracks such as "Sunshine". There are also guest appearances by ex-Roses colleagues Reni (drums) and Mani (bass) on third single "Can't See Me", and Primal Scream/ Electronic chanteuse Denise Johnson on the fabulously unhinged "Lions". While there are a few misguided and self-indulgent noisy meanderings--"What Happened to Ya Part 2", for example--this is a great debut, notwithstanding the constant jibes at John Squire, whose dreary album with The Seahorses this eclipses on every count. --Ronita Dutta Product Description Debut Solo CD from Ex-Stone Roses Vocalist. Tracks Include: My Star, Lions, Nah Nah, Sunshine, Ice Cold Cube, Deep Pile Dreams and More.
