Not for a second. Likewise, Hooper has won plaudits for his groundbreaking work with U2, Massive Attack, Madonna, Bjork, Garbage and The Smashing Pumpkins, among others. One would think that a collaboration between these restless muses would result in a record completely awash in trip-hop grooves and endless guitar heroics.

Turner's fluent guitar is matched by her expressive vocals and distinctive phrasings, while drummer Adam MacDougall and bassist Jason Lader provide commanding, yet graceful rock rhythms. The pieces of the Furslide puzzle began fitting together in 1997, after Hooper witnessed a typically electrifying Los Angeles performance. Though the band had only been together a little over three months, they had already created a bi-coastal buzz too loud for the music industry to ignore. Turner says the choice was based solely on creative concerns. Lyrically, the album provides an often unsettling glimpse into the mind of Jennifer Turner.
