Thorn and Watt deal with grief in 'Temperamental'
(11/09/99 11:00am)
Everything But the Girl is the British collaboration of Tracey Thorn's alto and Ben Watt's phat beats. The duo is best known for bass-bumping DJ remixes of their love ballads. Todd Terry transformed "Missing" in '95 into a disco anthem, and Omni Trio revamped "Wrong" in '96. But "Temperamental" proves Watt capable of spinning heavy house beats as well as the duo's remixers.
