This album -- one of the very early Bristol dance scene records with writing credits to Robert Del Naja among others -- really hasn't aged very well. Lead off track "Buffalo Stance" is still great, and the whole thing makes a decent nostalgia trip. But the album owes more to U.S. hip hop/pop hybrids from the era than to the burgeoning Bristol/Manchester "trip hop" sound. As a result, Cherry really doesn't come across all that "raw", and the late-80s production is occasionally appalling.
