Free Music Review: The more commercial side of Yoko...
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD was actually intended as more of a sampling of Onobox-Yoko's 6 CD box set-than as a greatest hits collection. Either way, it's an awesome collection of songs. Probably my favorite would have to be the 1985 Dance hit "Hell In Paradise", released here in a new remixed form, making it all the more better. The haunting "Walking On Thin Ice" is an awesome Rock track, with distorted guitar work by John Lennon (which would sadly prove to be the last time he played a guitar), and a dance beat to go along with it. Yoko's vomiting sounds just help exemplify the way people felt when John Lennon was assassinated. The bluesy "Death Of Samantha" features awesome guitar work (either by Lennon or Wayne Gabriel), and a beautiful saxophone played by Stan Bronstein. This instruments really help the song establish a setting of Yoko on stage in a bar filled with food, beer, and cigarette smoke. The beautiful "Spec Of Dust" is featured on this collection, perhaps a highlight of her 1982 "It's Alright" album. Other classics are the ultimate feminist anthem "Woman Power", the funky "O'Oh" (on which the vocals were recorded in 1992 just for the compilation), the gentle "Don't Be Scared", and the rocking "She Gets Down On Her Knees". There are some flaws about this, however, and it comes more from the lack of the material than of the songs choosen. i feel that Yoko sort of ignored her 80's efforts on this compilation, most specifically "Starpeace" and "It's Alright". There are some classics on those albums that definitely deserved to be on this, such as "Cape Clear", "Loneliness", "My Man", "The King Of The Zoo", and especially "Never Say Goodbye". Maybe this is because Yoko wanted us to buy the ultimate collection "Onobox", which is on the top of my current wish list. (Unfortunately, my birthday is about 7 months away. LOL) Anyhow, i think this album does a great job of showcasing Yoko Ono's (commercial) talent in music.
