You see a certain pattern forming? Yes yet another god from Manchester with what I still regard his best solo album so far with "Music of the Spheres" just behind.

It opens with "Gettin' High", a bruising electronic rocker followed by one of his best singles "Love Like a Fountain". The whole album is very solid, there isn't a weak track to be found with "Free My Way" one of my favourites.

"Dolphin's Were Monkey's" is the standout track on the album though with its single along chorus and groovy back beat.

Ian Brown said he never expected to have such a successful solo career after the Stone Roses but with albums like this he has deserved one.

Key Songs: Love Like a Fountain, Dolphin's Were Monkeys, Babasonicios
