1929, 2001, 1963.
We're killing time, drinking tea, spending cash, planting seeds
I heard it on the BBC about the era of prosperity
Where did it go?
Let's get in our time machines and Bring it back!
Bring back the boom, bring it back, bring back, bring back the boom
Bring back the boom, bring it back, bring back, bring back the boom
I started my apprentiship in 1979
With my history books and my scarf and my timeless sense of style
The Borgias and the Nazis could not overwhelm my guile
So let's unburn all the books and put the jack boots on the fire
Bring back the boom, bring it back, bring back, bring back the boom
Bring back the boom, bring it back, bring back, bring back the boom
We have all the time in the world, my darling
So let's put the wheelbarrows in the back and fill them full of cash.
Let's go to the moon! Let's all go to the moon!

Chris is a treasure trove of delicious rhythms and mind altering lyrics. This album is so different from his others and I NEEDED it so badly! aggiepigeon1

I fucking ADORE this new modular synthesizer based IAMX experience. Stick some tracks on a compilation with Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and the like and you'll really appreciate CC's diverse and wide-ranging talents. It's just EXCELLENT 💙 Gaz

The UK is particularly blessed with talent in electronica, and Sneaker Pimps are right up there with Portishead, The Aloof & Massive Attack in dark urban disenchantment. 2nd LP Splinters is still my favourite with founding member Chris Corner singing throughout, but this new collection of songs is wonderfully different & Simonne Jones’ singing is dreamy & sensual. Fighter is my top song, the lyrics full of vulnerable strength. Mid LP is especially strong, with Tranquility Trap, SOS, and Stripes. Master of Alchemy
The Manchester band's latest is the kind of ear candy that’s sweet and satisfying but never cloying, the product of Madchester exuberance, endurance, and tact. Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 11, 2021
