Cookie’s Fortune – David A. Stewart (1999) [FLAC]

OK, so we shouldn�t be surprised by anything Dave Stewart does, but this is nevertheless a very pleasant surprise. Opening like a crackly old blues record, a electronic drum rhythm and some stunning Candy Dulfer saxophone turns the five-and-a-half minute opening track Cookie into one of the best songs Pink Floyd never wrote. Elsewhere the music is less easy to nail down, but hip, funky and irresistible nonetheless. When the unmistakeable tones of a dobro gets you expecting some some good ol� swamp music, along comes a dance beat – and more dialogue samples. And so it goes. Like Ry Cooder meets Massive Attack. The Edge plays guitar on one track and Bono adds backing vocals to another, but it�s no disrespect to them to say they�re simply the frosting on a very tasty cake. *****Neil Jeffries, Empire Online (http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/reviewcomplete.asp?SID=5031)
