Good, but pretty disappointing. This is nothing like her previous trip-hop appearances. Martina's vocals on Maxinquaye were sensuous and dark; when she was with Tricky, her style of music was an infusion of guilty R&B, downtempo electronica, and hip-hop. But, on Quixotic, her solo album after breaking up with Tricky - both musically and personally - is more of a crossover between soul and electronic. Her singing is more uplifted and emotional than slinky and intimate, and it's rather quite disappointing. Nevertheless, a good album. 3.2/5
