In a market saturated by mix albums of every description, DMC's Back to Mine series glows like a beacon in a fog of mediocrity. The idea is simple: artists are given a free rein to compile a set that's both intuitive and personal to their taste--a mix of post-club textures chiefly designed for horizontal dancing and chilled-out bonhomie. Latest recruits, Everything But the Girl, take to the idea like ducks to water, displaying a musical pedigree that's latterly embraced house, hip-hop, even drum 'n' bass. Although most people have warmed to the group's shift into dance culture, what will surprise is their sublime choice of tunes. Kicking off with the drum machine jazz of DJ Cam's "Friends and Enemies", the moody hip-hop noir of Deadly Avenger's "Bayou" and their own production on Beth Orton's "Stars All Seem to Weep", the mood is stoner-paced but never drab. Follow this with classy deep house nostalgia, a little stripped back ambience courtesy of Carl Craig and a rousingly sanguine finale featuring Donny Hathaway's "Someday We'll All Be Free", and you have the makings of a fine night in. --Paul Tierney (Review copyright Amazon.co.uk)
