Free Music Notes for Tropical Brainstorm
Free Music Review: wonderful experience of latin rhythms
Hit: 5 Stars
I had to drive for 3 hours and all I listened to was this amazing album. I did not notice the time go by with songs like 'Us Amazonian' groovin rhythms, 'Here Comes that Man Again' happy beat and unforgettable 'In these shoes?', delightful song story that I played over and over. This good nature album was a wonderful experience for me and recommend it to anyone who loves Latin rhythms.
Tropical Brainstorm Poster
"I know an island where the people are kind / And the rest of the world seems far away / Maybe it's only in the back of my mind / But I know when I go that's where I'll stay." One could not wish a better end result for the late Kirsty MacColl, whose last album opens with this prediction. Tropical Brainstorm serves as a sunny and joyous bookend on a career cut tragically short. Musically, it is a bit of a departure, favoring vibrant Latin-flavored flourishes over the slightly darker jangle of earlier material. There is, however, no mistaking the album's creator from a lyrical perspective. "Treachery" giddily turns the star-fan scenario on its head, imagining MacColl stalking a fan who has abandoned her for the musical flavor of the month. "Here Comes That Man Again" is a decidedly naughty and wise survey of cyberculture's impact on modern romance. In "Us Amazonians," a hearty romp that's easily as good as anything off of Paul Simon's The Rhythm of the Saints, the narrator punches out her true love to show him what's truly important in life. These are not your ordinary pop songs, and that's a fitting way for things to end, if they had to. MacColl always held a singular place in Anglo-pop. She was equal parts Morrissey as a less self-obsessed heterosexual woman and Flannery O'Connor as pop star. In other words, unique, and an incredibly precious resource for music to lose. --Bob MichaelsAlternative Rock Music CDs
