What Sound is Manchester electronic music duo Lamb’s third release from 2001. The producer/vocal duo of Andy Barlow and Lou Rhodes is joined by session musicians Arto Lindsay on guitar, Me’Shell NdegéOcello on bass, and Michael Franti with additional vocal work. Doves guitarist Jimi Goodwin, producers Nellee Hooper and Richard Dorfmeister (of Kruder & Dorfmeister fame) also contributed to the album. The track “Heaven” was used repeatedly by the television series Six Feet Under.
Still one of the most inventive groups in electronica, Lamb continued pushing the boundaries of singer/songwriter Drum’n’Bass three albums in. Andy Barlow’s productions again set a gold standard for ambitious, evocative, intelligent accompaniment of Louise Rhodes’ vocals. If there were any doubters about Lamb being the brightest, most talented singer/producer combo in electronica, What Sound is all the argument needed to the contrary.
The Music On Vinyl 2LP reissue of What Sound includes the winning track of a worldwide remix contest for the song “Heaven”, by Czech producer Ower.
