Data Insight
Eleven tracks and no published writer for any of them, the same blank as the debut. Martina Topley-Bird sings on it again. Two albums into a career and nothing about who wrote either of them is on the record.
Pre-Millennium Tension came out on Island in November 1996, eighteen months after Maxinquaye, and sold 218,000 in the United States. It is darker and harsher than the album before it.
