    As with everything The Indications do, ‘Private Space’ is incredibly listenable, yet for all their efforts to expand their sound, they still rest often on the formula of old.

    There are no musical revelations but recreating the groove of the terrific In Yo’ Face! The History of Funk series of sadly out of print compilations from Rhino is harder than it sounds.

They are one tight band with two amazing vocalists, and have an uncanny ability to take in the classic sounds of soul and put them in a modern context. This album is no exception, although it is slightly less perfect than their last album American Love Call. With this album, they are infuenced by mid 70's funk and disco, although Witchoo adds some hip-hop grooves. It is one of the best songs they've ever recorded, as is Love Will Work It Out. Other than that, the tunes on here are a bit more mellow, and the harmonies don't seem as prevalent.
