Sub Sub is the precursor band to Doves. If you are expecting a less evolved version of Doves (and their superb album "Lost Souls"), you're in for a big surprise/disappointment. Full Fathom Five is a dance album, with an 80's sound. I knew it was a dance album before purchasing it, but I was disconcerted by that 80's sound (the album was recorded in the 90's). There are several instrumental and/or female vocalist tracks. The standouts are the club hit "Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use)" and "Past" which is featured on the Back To Mine:Faithless CD. We're not sure how Sub Sub evolved into Doves, but it was a positive leap in the musical evolutionary chain.
