"i'm not sure when or where i bought this cd...but i remember hearin the song "Ladybird" somewhere and just loving it. it still remains my favorite song on this cd by far...but this is a pretty good cd. downtempo and chill beats with a semi dark atmosphere. i have to admit that i rarely pull it off the shelf and listen to it...but when i do, i enjoy it. well done. a nice little number."

"i bought this cd on a whim, cause i thought it looked pretty cool. i immediately fell in love with it--it's sexy, dark, and crazy. perfect for those late night sessions chillin' in a blacklit room with a bunch of friends . . ."

My first introduction to trip hop music

"Back in 1996, I was heavily into primarily dance music (house & trance) with a smidgeon of punk (not the Good Charlotte sort of garbage) and alternative music. A roommate of mine at the time worked at local radio station and brought home free cds for everyone. One of the free goodies I got was the single "Curlylocks" by Baby Fox. I loved what I heard. It was nothing that I had ever heard of at the time with its slick icy melodies, slow electronic beats, and sensual female vocals. At the time, I did not know this was trip hop music. I eventually got the group's full length cd ("Normal Family") that had "Curlylocks" on it. I recently excavated "Normal Family" from one of my many piles of cds and slipped the cd into my stereo. Baby Fox reminds me of Portishead, Motorcycle, Hooverphonic, Olive, and Telepopmusik with their slick, laid back beats and ethereal female vocals. I almost forgot why I loved this cd so much several years ago. It is truly ahead of its time before chill out music became the rage on the electronica scene today. All the songs on "Normal Family" are top-notched. I could not find one song that I didn't like. I especially love "Ladybird", "Curlylocks", "In Your Dreams", and "Alienway". It is a shame that this band was short-lived. Considering just how big chill out music is today, Baby Fox definitely could have sustained a career in music today. "Normal Family" is one of those forgotten gems that got sidetracked by the current music scene at the time. I'm glad I re-discovered Baby Fox."
