Album Notes Producers: Line Of Flight, Jim Abbiss, Flood.Engineers: Jim Abbiss, Line Of Flight, Flood, Luke Gifford, C. Goddard.Audio Mixers: Clive Goddard; Line of Flight; Jim Abbiss; Luke Gifford; Nellee Hooper.Editor: Nellee Hooper.Arranger: Line of Flight.Sneaker Pimps have clearly mastered the art of having your cake and eating it too. On BECOMING X, the British band combines techno beats and samples with Big Rock Guitar and cutesy-girl vocals a la Letters To Cleo, covering all bases for an eclectic sound that keeps things from getting too staid or predictable. While the overall mood is one of darkness and urban-jungle drama, Sneaker Pimps manage to come up with enough propulsive rhythms and arresting hooks to bring a little light to the proceedings.Tracks like "6 Underground" slow down the pace a bit and add some acoustic instruments into the mix, making for a Portishead/Everything But The Girl vibe. Elsewhere, the band's rock and roll aspiration rears its head. Whether they're trip-hopping, rocking and rolling or raving, though, Sneaker Pimps provide enough substance beneath their stylistic veneers to keep you coming back for more.
