House music would sound very different without the work of this legendary pair. For the last three decades, they have been serving up a broad spectrum of music ranging from catchy and anthemic to dark and moody via the charismatic sounds of their last single, "You Know (Everybody)." They won an Ivor Novello Award for "Lazy" feat David Byrne and have even had their tunes synced by fashion house Givenchy, but never have they stopped evolving, as four fantastic studio albums have shown.
They are in fine form again here with "Muse," which finds the pair sinking into deep, introverted house grooves. The dusty, scruffy drums drag like a heavy heart beneath wistful vocal sounds up top that convey real emotional pain. Subtle melodies rise through the mix to bring a sense of hope to this most moving of tracks.
