There are a lot of occasions in house music where artist albums don’t live up to the hype, but if there was any doubt about the quality of this long awaited LP , then one listen firmly kicks that suggestion into touch. From the sublime opening track 'So Far' to the final cut 'Giving it All', all thirteen songs are absolute diamonds. Naked music fave Lisa Shaw makes an appearance on three tracks, including the wonderfully funky title track 'Those Things' and 'Make Things Happen'. In truth, the album is so good it’s virtually impossible to choose one track above another, and if the phrase ‘if you only buy one album this year’ was ever gonna apply, then this is the time. Buy on sight - you won’t be disappointed. (CZ)
