Recorded at Sarm East, Sarm West, and Metropolis Studios, London, England. After his glittering career as vocalist for mid-'80s alterno-giants the Stone Roses, it was only natural that Ian Brown would resurface as a solo artist. On GOLDEN GREATS, his second solo album (the first, UNFINISHED MONKEY BUSINESS, has yet to be released in the United States), Ian Brown builds upon the funk of Stone Roses classics like "Fool's Gold" and created an album's worth of material that, unlike so many dabblers, has a genuine groove to it. Standouts include the Asian-influenced opening of "Getting High," which quickly moves into a cool, distorted guitar grind, before mutating a second time into something else entirely. That mutation comes in the form of "So Many Soldiers," a scratchy, slow-paced dirge with echoed vocals, a supremely fuzzy bass, and a sharp, picked acoustic guitar. Up next is the slick mixture of acoustic and electronic sounds of "Golden Gaze," a track that, though obviously influenced by the ambient dance music trends of the late-'90s, retains enough reverbed guitar to have a wicked neo-psychedelic vibe. The U.S. edition of the album appends a pair of alternate version, including one tremendously drawn-out version of "Dolphins Were Monkeys," remixed by UNKLE.
