Prepare yourself for celestial sex, soul, and futuristic sound

Supreme Beings of Leisure's self-titled debut album turns techno down a few notches and gives it a drippingly soulful voice. The album's back cover reads, "Supreme Beings of Leisure invite you to kick back and enjoy their debut album." It is an invitation easy enough to accept. As the album plays, grooves shift in and out from playful to honest, creating a delightful hum that never ceases to make the head and other choice body parts move to the beat. As its name suggests, Supreme Beings of Leisure (SBL) is a sophisticated group for the new millennium, and they are not afraid to express this. Their lyrics and rhythms center around the higher aspects of life and culture, from the fast love and desire in "Strangelove Addiction," to family affection in "Always the Sun," to the doubt of a high-paced lifestyle in "Truth From Fiction."
