Groove Armada – Goodbye Country (Hello Country)

As it’s title suggested, Groove Armada’s third studio album, issued in September 2001, was a more upbeat statement than it’s predecessor, ‘Vertigo’, and spawned two singles – the certified banger ‘Superstylin’ and the slyly funky ‘My Friend’ – alongside a series of accomplished grooves featuring guests of the calibre of Richie Havens, Nile Rodgers and rapper Jeru the Damaja. Now approaching platinum status in the UK, this is a seamless journey through the many moods of clubland, encompassing house, hip-hop, left-field and disco-funk.
