I really like Illume and listen to it often.
However, like the song Say You will, I think Illume suffers from the lack of an additional verse and a ridiculous amount of repetition. I also like if not love the beginning guitar, but wish they had ixnayed (
) the bongos, which I think inappropriately lighten what should be a dark, dense song to almost whimsical.
Interstingly, I totally get the "cliffdweller" line but, hey, I loved the chimp line so what do I know
Again, I like the song, I just am adding my $0.02 as everyone is a critic you know!!!!
P.S. madformac - I must take complete offense at any quote by Jamaroquai - they undeservedly beat Silver Springs for a Grammy and, therefore, must be detroyed. To quote TreeBeard from Lord of the Rings "Destroyers and usurpers."
