Free Music Notes for Pelican West...Plus
Free Music Review: Like Blood, Sweat & Tears on Acid!
Hit: 5 Stars
It better be good beach music, because Pelican West is one of my top five desert isle discs of all time (and I throw everything from classic jazz to Van Morrison to Meredith d'Ambrosio in there). The wife and I save it for the very end of a long road trip, when there's an hour and a half to go, the sun is down, we're fighting to stay awake, maybe there's a whiteout on the road -- and then it's time to bounce and sing and whistle "Love's Got Me In Triangles" and "Calling Captain Autumn" and all the others. Thank you, Nick. Thank you, 'cut'. Do not miss!Free Music Review: Outstanding - timeless, great arrangements
Hit: 5 Stars
I was 16 when this album came out. Seeing the videos on MTV was also very fun. These clean cut guys in crew neck sweaters - someting else. My buddies and I used to sing Favorite Shirt. Good memories and outstanding musicianship. Heyward's solo albums are also very good.Free Music Review: good haircut
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a very solid pop album. I had always been a fan of "Love Plus One", but didn't realize how strong the musicianship was on many of the other tracks. Particularly good horn arrangements and base lines. Free Music Review: Can't get that song out of my head...
Hit: 4 Stars
I've been trying to find this band for the longest time. I've heard the song "Love Plus One" several times, and could never figure out which band was behind it. But, no more am I lost! I have found the band behind the song and I'm happy to say that...I LOVE THIS BAND! I love all 80s music. However, I'd never heard of this band, and the songs on this disc just makes me happy. Their stuff is classic! :) The music is fun, funky, poppy and flavored with that '80s sound' galore. This album is definitely a must have for any 80s music buff!

Haircut 100 utilized horns like nothing I've heard in pop music before or since, and they gave the world this unique and brassy record before their star set forever into obscurity.
Their only hit isn't a very good indicator of what the rest of 'Pelican West' is like; it's inescapably catchy but doesn't have the lavish horn-driven sound of the rest of the cuts. Not that I'm criticizing; if I were in a band I would want recognition and riches as well! It is unfortunate that so many misguided snobs equate 'Success' with 'Selling Out', and I would hate to be misunderstood to be saying that "Love Plus One' is inferior because it succeeded so well. Should you decide to purchase this CD, you will be delighted to discover that it is filler-free, original, and brimming with true creativity.
The wry humor doesn't hurt, either. "When will life become a major film?" When, indeed? If you missed this the first time around do yourself a favor and pick it up now.
