An impassioned second album from the Grammy- and Golden Globe-winning singer/actress, this neatly deviates from the throwback orientation of the debut.
As club culture started to go overground and DJs were on their way to becoming the new rock stars, the Drum Club made progressive house in the spirit of the free festival circuit. Their second album, Drums Are Dangerous, is an ecstatic yet accessible effort which stands among the best ambient techno releases of its era. Guests include Maxine Harvey (the KLF), Kirsty Hawkshaw (Opus III), and Saffron (later of Republica). - Paul Simpson
