Free Music Review: Too good to describe in words
Hit: 5 Stars
This late 80's release by captures the turn of the decade great with it's late 80's sound mixed with a foward look into the 90's. Unfortunately, it came out at a time when I was in junior high, & it wasn't so easy to find out more about bands, like you can these days off the internet, & I didn't even find out who did this song until last year. After hearing "Imagination" at a club after a looong absence of not hearing it, I had to get it so I could have that song on cd because I never got it recorded in junior high, being the tape-off-the-radio junkie that I was. This album gives me the same mood that dark "pop" bands like New Order and Depeche Mode do for me...peppy (at times) with a a strange, hard-to-describe darkness under it, but of course, it's a lot better and meaningful than anything labeled "pop" these days could ever be. The band on this album reminds me of a darker Pet Shop boys, although I haven't had a chance to hear their other albums as Clan of Xymox yet (I'll do that eventually). When the 1st minute of "Evelyn", with it's orchestral like beginning, I was totally satisfied, & luckily you can expect the rest of the album to be just as good. For me, it's great to listen to, especially when I'm not in a good mood, because it's like being taken out of reality for almost an hour, and makes me feel better somehow afterward. Although I'm not much into lyrics and what they mean, the lyrics on this album make me listen for once, which few albums do. In comparison sound-wise to other bands other than the ones mentioned already, "Blind Hearts" reminds me of The Fixx (the guitar in "Red Skies to be exact"), & you can't deny the Pink Floyd-like vocals in "Tonight". It's hard to say what songs stand out, because they're all good, but "Imagination" still stands out, even 10 years after I 1st heard it, & "The River" is also great. I got this album out of mere curiousity, & I hate most modern stuff because I've been stuck in the 80's the past couple of years, & this is just a great album anyway, so those are enough reasons to purchase this underrated album by a great, hardly known band.
