LUSCIOUS JACKSON: NERVOUS BREAKTHROUGH

LUSCIOUS JACKSON: NERVOUS BREAKTHROUGH
No doubt a few people were tricked into buying Luscious Jackson's frankly awful final album because this opening track sounded brilliant on a listening post. "I was off kilter/Now I've got shelter/Thanks to you/I'm gonna breakthrough" goes the endearingly goofy rap, but there's synthesised brass, a (gasp) funky, insistent beat in the verses and a great mantra of a chorus. PS. Yes pedants, I know they were a three-piece when this came out. Haha. Seek out Jill Cunniff's stuff with The Cooler Kids, really. It's great.
