Lust is the third album by Ambitious Lovers.[1] [2] It was released in 1991 through Elektra Records.[3] It was the band's final album.[4]
The band's cover of Jorge Ben's "Umbabarauma" was a minor dance hit.[5]
The album was produced by band member Peter Scherer.
Trouser Press wrote that "Lust has enough of that unique Lindsay guitar squeal to keep the old-timers interested, but traditionalists might be disappointed that Arto’s turning into an out-and-out crooner — and a damn good one at that."[6] The New York Times thought that the album "works with the idea that the subversion of mass-market tastes can be achieved by slipping in noise, odd sounds and other things under a shiny, pop veneer."[5] The Spin Alternative Record Guide wrote that it oozes "sensual, hypnotic funk and samba."[7]
