Becoming X is the debut studio album by English electronic band Sneaker Pimps. It was first released on 19 August 1996 in the United Kingdom by Clean Up Records and on 25 February 1997 in the United States by Virgin Records. The album marked the only appearance of Kelli Dayton as lead singer before she was asked to leave the band; Chris Corner replaced her for the band's subsequent albums.

Virgin Music Canada, Virgin Music Canada. 7243 8 42587 4 0, V4 42587. all right as far as trip-hop goes. some tracks are really good, but some stray from the sound the band should carry through the entire album. i actually bought this thinking the Spin Spin Sugar version was the long dance remix, but i was wrong. could be improved, but still not too bad.

Becoming Remixed is a remix album by English electronic band Sneaker Pimps, released on 10 March 1998 by Virgin Records. It serves as a companion piece to the band's 1996 debut Becoming X, and was originally limited to 30,000 copies. Spin Spin Sugar (Armand's Dark Garage Mix)". Walking Zero (Tuff & Jam Unda-Vybe Vocal)". Post-Modern Sleaze (The Salt City Orchestra Nightclub Mix)". Spin Spin Sugar (Armand's Bonus Dub)". Post-Modern Sleaze (Reprazent Mix)". 6 Underground (Perfecto Mix)".

While the Sneaker Pimps don't have the doomed romanticism of Portishead or the nasty experimental tendencies of Tricky, they have a cool sense of pop hooks and an edgier guitar attack than their predecessors. Tesko Suicide" moves along with jagged guitars and rhythms, while "6 Underground" is coolly detached postmodern soul. Becoming X creates an airy, urban atmosphere, and while the record begins to unravel toward the end, it is an exciting, entrancing listen.

Becoming X. Sneaker Pimps. 96 Web homepage Record label: Clean Up, Virgin Genre(s): Rock. 70 Music-Critic Score How the Music Critic Score works. This laid back hip pop track, which I am sure many of the readers have heard, features a low, driving bassline, a simple keyboard lick, and above all, Kelli's vocals. The album starts out with that cool bass sound familiar to the Sneaker Pimps on "Low Place Like Home". This repeating bassline/melody is one of the catchiest on the album

Becoming X. Released August 19, 1996. Becoming X Tracklist. 1. Low Place Like Home Lyrics. 2. Tesko Suicide Lyrics.

This is also the only Sneaker Pimps album where Kelli Dayton(later known as Kelli Ali through her solo career) lends her spunky vocals. and it contributes greatly to the attitude of "Becoming X". The album spawned two successful singles. 6 Underground' is a dreamy down-tempo techno-pop song that drove the success of the album. Spin Spin Sugar' is fast, chaotic, bass-driven trip-hop that could fuel fire. However, every track on this record is great.

Talk about Sneaker Pimps - Becoming X

this bootleg actually sounds pretty good on side A except for a deep scratch that runs through the 4th song, I asked the seller for a new one but they said it would also have the scratch. Side B sounds terrible because the grooves aren't deep enough, so it's quiet and there's little to no bass. All of the songs are the original versions though. I got a partial refund and I'll use it to buy the original LP.
Meri
Yeah, you bought a fake repress of the first, 1LP edition. One Little Indian released it officially on 2, 180gram LP's in 2016, but it's actually pressed with the 1997 re-release tracks (some are remixes).
Qag
Does anyone know if this is the same as the reissue with the remixed versions of some of the songs?
Naktilar
thanks what a money grab the green record is arrg
Kerdana
I have this (although mine is a marbled green record). It is indeed the 1997 reissue with remixed versions of 6 Underground, Spin Spin Sugar and Post-Modern Sleaze which is disappointing.
Nuadazius
The bootleg copy does have the remixes on it, unfortunately. Its the same version of Post Modern Sleaze as the 2016 repressing.
Kikora
My boyfriend has official vinyl released from One Little Indian and they don't list the songs as remixes so when he listened to it he emailed them. They told him that is the official release and the songs aren't remixed, but they aren't versions from the original release either so it's all very sad. I'll reach out if we find a good bootleg or other without remixes.
Larosa
ya would like to know too, I actually think i may have ordered an unofficial on ebay. Ill let ya know asap if it comes in. It is on one LP tho which I hope the remixes are off. So disappointed hearing their remix of post modern slease arrg.
