I love the electronic Everything but the Girl (EBTG) albums (wasn’t a big fan of the acoustic pop albums, but that’s just me) , I love most of the remixes by Ben Watt (one half of EBTG) , but I wasn’t really taken by Tracey’s solo album. Don’t get me wrong, there are several tracks I like, but I don’t exactly love them. What I do love is Tracey’s voice. With that said, this Hot Chip remix of Tracey’s Kings Cross is brilliant, dark, and overall moving. I love the detuning of notes that hits around the 5:55 mark of this track.

I heard Tracy’s album as well, but was not inot it as well, nor do i remember there being a cover of the PSB song Kings Cross. Turns out it was hidden on track thirteeen. As being as PSB fan, I will go back and give the Tracy Thorn hidden version a listen.
Yup…the solo album didn’t do it for me either….I dig this one though…very mid-80’s sounding.
