I, um, I really liked All Saints and I loved this.I also broke up with someone when Never Ever came out, so they have a soft spot in my heart (their songs, not them).
They're a strange one; can't say I especially like All Saints but 'Saints and Sinners' is a great album. I'm not sure if it's just me I really like the stories behind songs; I even watched The Beach last night as I knew the song was in it.
William Orbit was the man back then. This All Saints track was in the charts *forever*, there was his own Adagio For Strings, Madonna's Ray of Light and the Blur albums he produced. He's definitely a producer who puts his stamp on things, though you heard him less with Blur, "13" was menacing in a way they hadn't been before. Likewise, the soundtrack for The Beach almost completely captured the zeitgeist of the time. Interesting that this interests you now!
I think I was drawn to his story; how he came to be where he is today and how he got into music and music production. I also really like his 'Strange Cargo' series.
