{"product_id":"brown-ian-unfinished-monkey-business","title":"UNFINISHED MONKEY BUSINESS","description":"Released in 1998, Ian Brown's first solo album, UNFINISHED MONKEY BUSINESS, finds the ex-Stone Roses frontman alternately attempting to escape the shadow of his lauded former band, and conjuring up its groove-loving ghost. The disc's shimmering first single, \"My Star,\" recalls the Beatles (via Oasis), and showcases Brown's raspy croon; while the acoustic, chill-out vibe of \"Corpses in Their Mouths\" makes it one of the record's pleasant surprises. \"Can't See Me,\" on the other hand, sounds exactly like what it is--a Stone Roses song without guitarist John Squire, with the Manchester group's bassist (Mani) and drummer (Reni) sitting in to create a funk-tinged tune that wouldn't have been out of place on SECOND COMING. Although some of the lo-fi experimentation here (see the noisy \"Lions\") proves to be a bit distracting, UNFINISHED MONKEY BUSINESS reveals a potential that the Madchester icon would follow through with on later outings, particularly MUSIC OF THE SPHERES.","brand":"BROWN,IAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44597937799401,"sku":"MYO7N9-4GSB-00","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/brownian-unfinished-monkey-business_JCfHt.jpg?v=1759449952","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/brown-ian-unfinished-monkey-business","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
