Dangerous Society - Danger Zone - 14-Sep-07 05:00 AM
I think this is a really sophisticated track. It has a nice combination of warm rolling bass and slightly messy vocals. The Guitar Mix in particular has everything going on. Its wholesome, integrated and sharp, and the guitar riffs perfectly compliment the vocals. There is an intense sense of repression in the guitar, just when you think it should let rip - it doesn't, leading to a fumbling sense of needing more. I am really quite pleased that I stumbled upon this song and thouroughly recommend it.

Elton John - Sacrifice - 12-Jun-07 10:21 AM
What an appalling monument to music. Disguised under the umbrella of admittedly perfect vocals and a nice tune, Elton delivers here; the Big Mac of music. Like the ubiquitous burger, this track is easy to consume if you are not fussy on the quality. But just as the Big Mac would make a chef at a fine restaurant sneer, this song curls the toenails of any music aficionado. Its a tight demonstration of vocal skill, overlaid onto the most two dimensional synthy rubbish to ever come out of any electronic musical device - ever.
Occasionally I still have the misfortune of hearing it when I leave the radio tuned into the wrong place, and soon after I contemplate suicide. The song is that powerful. Do everything you can to never hear it. If you do suffer that curse, it will ruin your life.

Wiggles, The - Yummy Yummy - 28-Jul-06 02:12 AM
A good, gritty first outing from one of Australia's premiere kid's acts. Don't be decieved by the current glut of represses on CD overseas, this cassette release is the original. Every track in its entirety. Some all time classics found here will have your young ones amused for hours. From Dorothy the Dinosaur to Captain Feathersword, there are literally a thousand rainy days and hungover "plonk my kids down for some dancing" mornings to be found.

When the boys from the Cockroaches went back to Uni, studied early childhood teaching and decided to form the Wiggles, they were onto a winner. They knew only too well the hard yards we parents would face on the back of a long Saturday night at the pub, seeking solace in a faceless, cheery babysitter known as the cassette deck.

Snap! - Rhythm Is A Dancer - 08-Jun-06 02:20 AM
This is a tune I find myself going back to even after all these years. It has a king of simplistic, timeless quality about it. Maybe its the naive nature of the tune, maybe its the memories and maybe its the dancer on the label picture performing a tricky backflip whilst his apparently enormous penis dangles freely in the breeze. For whichever reason, this release has kept me jumping for joy and questioning the concept of penis envy for well over a decade.

DJ Duke - Blow Your Whistle - 06-Nov-05 09:06 AM
The only mix here that has stood the test of time is the Homodustrial Mix. All the mixes sound, to a degree, uncomfortable in the worst way possible - disconnected sounds and unnecessarily added samples. The Homodustrial Mix offers just a little bit more than the others. It is rich with sounds and a little dark, but still suffers from trying to do too much, like the other mixes do. One of those tunes, you drag out every few years for a listen and only get halfway through before you pull it off. But the Homodustrial Mix, maybe, will still sound okay in a few years to come.
