This 6-piece band, sprung from the remnants of the Housemartins (who also spawned Norman Cook, a.k.a. Fatboy Slim), are one of Britain's biggest selling bands of the decade. Quench reflects a change in The Beautiful South's sound; after 2 downbeat, ballad-heavy albums, the band now returns with a soulful strut. Diverse without sacrificing any of their classic elements, standouts include the emotional pull of "The Slide," the wry "Perfect 10" and the ambitious "Window Shopping for Blinds."
