Free Music Notes for Nightlife: The Collection
Free Music Review: FINALLY!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been waiting for this exact collection of the band's EP and LP for years. Aside from the infectious "Lawnchairs", many of the other tunes capture that bouncy, quirky synth dance sound. Reminds me very much of Devo, Pete Shelley, and at times, Missing Persons (with male vocal, of course) in the early 80s. The ONLY problem is, well, there is ONE song left off this collection from the "Moving Windows" LP!!! The song 'Paris' is nowhere to be found! Unfortunately, one of the tracks here had to be cut to make room for all the songs, but personally, I would have left off one of the versions of Lawnchairs, considering both mixes are available on numerous rhino new wave compilations. Now serious collectors are forced to keep their vinyl for that one song. Also note that the outro to "Buildings" has been left out--it was actually an outro to the entire "moving windows" LP--some spoken chatter by the band, sounding like aliens.
It's great to have some tracks that were not on either the EP and LP, which would be the songs Nightlife, Take Me, Hotel Room, She's Out There, Airline, and Raincoats & Silverware. Some of these are quite strong new wave songs--I sort of expected a bunch of rejects.
If you're looking for some new wave synthdance you missed in the 1980s, don't hesitate to grab this CD before it's gone. And thanks to Almacantar records for preserving the works of another great new wave band! Do you take requests???
