Having dabbled with synth-driven pop and electro elements for a couple of singles released after Key of Dreams, the Cassidy brothers decided to run further from their past and immerse themselves completely in technology while making a concerted attempt to be less dour.
With the smart addition of Larry's wife Jenny Ross on vocals and keyboards the group recorded their third and best album with Bernard Sumner.
Packed with a surprising amount of emotional range and sounds into eight songs, From the Hip succeeds in transporting the group out of the endlessly glum corner they had painted themselves into with a mix of the hopeful, the melancholy, the synthetic, and the organic.
"Looking from the Hilltop" is the obvious highlight, a moody electro-pop classic sung by Ross that became a favourite at ‘Movements’ trent-setting London nightclub.
"Reflection," a proto-twee pop song (also sung by Ross), slackens the tension of "Hilltop" with buoyant synth-percussion and a bright melody.
The biggest gulf between songs exists with "Program for Light" and "Desert"; the former is a hyper-speed electro instrumental that races along until being interrupted by a thunderclap that ushers in the latter, which uses little more than echo-heavy piano, acoustic guitar, and hardly-sung vocals.
The remaining songs serve the whole and act as bridges to make the album flow deceptively well. The flow could take several plays to become apparent, but it's time well spent

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, fresh labels with nothing but a couple of light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces are as-new - some 'in-vinyl' pressing blemishes are visible but these are superficial and harmless
VINYL Audio: MINT
This barely played copy delivers immaculate sound throughout with nothing to fault - tremendous LP - very highly recommended indeed
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Crisp, clean and unworn edges and spine - just a couple of patches of colour loss - front edges - nothing major - one where a price label has probably been removed (please see close-up photographs)
