Album Description
The long awaited 2nd album from the UK masters of down-tempo comes as this 2 CD set. The Funky Lowlives pull out all the stops to make what can only be described as a complete album, and one which gets even better with every listen. Opening with the sun-drenched 'Sail Into The Sun', the album alternates between vocal-led tracks and beautiful instrumental arrangements all laid over live percussion. Soul Jazz's Marshmello lays down the sultry vocals on 'Til I Left The Music' while friend of the band and vocalist, Ben Lord, provides the special finishing touch to the dreamy 'Float Through The Stars'. Meanwhile, 'Time To Let You Go', 'For Her Eyes', and 'Here Is Somewhere' are all superbly constructed instrumental arrangements bringing in strings, brass and everything in between. 17 total tracks including a 7 track Remix CD of 'Sail Into The Sun' & 'Superlove'. High Note. 2005.

Return to Form Wherever the Place May Be.......2001-07-30
Success did not suit them well, as their creative light began to flicker and fade with the release of "Autopilot" in '94 and the low point with their MCA release, the dismally flat "Outpost" in '96. Gone now are two of their members, Al Laughlin and Jeep MacNichol (he of the golden sticks); gone also is the MCA label, but back is their creative spark and a return to their original musical talent. I was prepared to be disappointed upon buying "Here and Somewhere Else", but this CD actually sounds good.
It's not surprising that the Samples sound remains since Andy Sheldon and Sean Kelly had always been the songwriting force behind the Samples breezy, mountain clean, enviro-charged, semi-eclectic, quasi-world music, Stingish vocals brand of music. For Samples fans, this doesn't compete with "The Last Drag" or "No Room" but I don't think you'll be disappointed. Some of the best tracks are the eastern-tinged horn ska-driven lightness of "We All Move On," the new-age enviro anthem of "Hypocrite", and the cool reggae groove of "The Birds of Paradise" A low point on this CD though is the track that falls between track 5 and 6 (call it 5 and 1/2), but not listed on the jacket possibly titled, "Pretty Little Girl." It's an exercise in everything to avoid and stay away from in songwriting pitfalls. Sean Kelly falls into rhyming his lines 3 or 4 times just for the sake of rhyming, with no lyrical value to the song whatsoever. It's pure cheese. Skip this dismal little ditty and overall you've got a solid listen.
The folk mountain air cool of "Going Through Changes" perhaps sums it up for the new Samples. There have been some changes made and they sound like it's for the better. If you are a Sample devotee, pick this one up. If you are new to the group, go get "No Room" or "The Last Drag."
The Samples have become a total joke - this is proof!.......2001-07-18
I hope you're reading this, Sean - lay off the drugs, dude. Then maybe you guys will make another decent album after all the dogs (including this one, for sure) you've spewed forth since about 1995. Don't take it from me - the below is an actual quote from the Samples' website:
(about the song) Finest Role - We all came up with the music and I made up the words to this. I do not really remember how it was recorded... to tell you the truth I do not remember anything about the recording of Autopilot. I always liked this song but we still haven't played it yet live. Sean Kelly
Getting worse and worse!.......2000-04-23
A kindler, gentler Samples.......1999-07-31
