Reviews & Discussion
Excellent album, great depth in lyrics, musicianship and concept. Needless to say, most of it is meant to make you dance! What a concept, dance music with substance. How unlikely is that 30 years later? Not to say it doesn't exist, but boy is it rare...
Lovers of vintage synthesizers and electronics will not be disappointed at the amount of lovely, fat analog synth timbres on this album. Nor should they be disappointed with the good - no - GREAT songwriting talent that went into its production. I don't know why this level of musicianship is no longer the norm and hasn't been for nearly twenty years - but at the time of this album, this was considered "fair" skill-wise. My personal faves are "Do Ya Wanna Get Funky With Me" (GREAT vocal layering), "You Should Do It" (Awesome bassline and jumpy all-around), and "Without Love" (Was this techno? AWESOME synth textures!). The rest of the album can certainly hold its own. I would strongly consider a good listen and take note of what music-making once was. Still very relevent in electronic music.
