Mimosa: The Lounge Album - Fun Lovin' Criminals

This again is an excellent album from the Fun Lovin' Criminals. It may be seen as one for the die-hard fan but it is still good for easy, relaxed listening. They have mellowed out quite a lot and it shows in this 3rd album. Mimosa has that certain quality that makes you want to hear it again and actually listen to the lyrics. Particularly the 1st song, Couldn't get it right, strikes a chord with everyone who has listened to it. There are several songs that appear on Come Find Yourself and are more relaxed. The Americans don't seem to like them so they were sent here. Although this album may not be to everyone?s taste, it is a great album ...

OK so this is not the best album in the Fun Lovin’ Criminal trilogy but it is certainly worth splashing out a few quid on. The style is severely different from the previous two incarnations and it appears that the FLC have decided to turn to the lounge rooms of New York for their inspiration on this CD. The tunes are seriously smooth with a subtle sense of humour and you can’t help but feel relaxed when listening. The Album contains a few laid back mixes of some of their classic tunes including “Scooby Snacks” and “We Have All The Time In The World”. If your not a FLC fan then you may not find this CD your cup of tea, but to anyone ...

Mimosa by the Fun Lovin Criminals is a great album. It is enjoyable to listen to and very relaxing. The music is cool and although most of the songs aren't original, there is enough originality in the album for me to say that it hasn't just been released to make a bit more money. There are some good new songs but even the old ones that have been re-released are fresh and enjoyable, with new ideas and types of music being experimented with. It is not the best album I have ever listened to but it is a good album for anyone who liked the first two albums but are still looking for something different by the Criminals. It is a good album. ...
