Lamb were a Manchester double act built on contrast: Andy Barlow twisting beats in the control room and Lou Rhodes singing like she'd wandered in from a folk club and decided to stay. They got going in 1996, signed to Mercury, and made trip hop with jazz and the skittering pulse of drum and bass folded into it.
"Górecki" is the song that made their name and the one that has hung around the countdowns: a slow burn that starts out hushed and devotional, Rhodes' voice floating over a sparse backdrop, and then swells towards something close to rapture as Barlow's rhythms creep in underneath. "Gabriel" became their other big hit.
The pair went their separate ways in 2004, then came back together in 2009 to carry on as Lamb.
