I can def hear the trip-hop connection. This was shown 15 years later when Tricky did his "Nearly God" side project and Terry Hall guested as vocalist on one of the songs, if im right in thinking

Neville Staples was dead good at the Lemon Tree last year, even played 'Man at C & A'. Can't remember if Ghost Town came out before the 'More Specials' album, but 'I cant stand it' on said LP is even more proto "trip" hop (i always fukn HATED that label, there used to be a night at the Peli in the mid-90's on a Wed and they called it Dub Narcotic Jazz, much more aesthetically suitable. Rant over). In fact 'More Specials' is just one of the best albums made, just so Modern, perhaps more so now than it was; proto- loungecore, James Brown tributes, old school rock n soul workouts, nuclear paranoia and the proper version of International Jet Set. Most modern bands are dung by comparison.
