Stereo MCs had slowly been building their reputation through their first couple of releases. Tracks backing MC Rob B and vocalist Cath Coffey were largely sample-based. For "Connected" they upped the ante with several backing singers and a full band.
The tracks mix rap, soul, electronica, dub and pop to create a sound that is catchy, danceable and almost a touch hypnotic.
The album was a huge success, but the band would not follow it up for another 8-9 years. The intervening time being peppered with some remix work for other artists.
