Effin' Overlooked Wall of Voodoo single
589751
What a GREAT single Wall of Voodoo's "Far Side of Crazy" is.  And almost no one is aware of it, so be among the first.  It isn't "Mexican Radio", it's late 80's "alt" (alternative), along the lines of Under Neath What, but closer in spirit to Love/Hate.  I can't believe this track isn't available somewhere other than on some EXPENSIVE import disc, and I'd say it's worth the cost...but then, my mind may be playing tricks on me...I may well be on the far side of crazy, LOL!!!
But this song ROCKS, Baby...it's a beauty.  Stan Ridgeway-free, which, in this case, isn't bad at all.  Perhaps someday one of those glorified Hollywood directors will think to use the track on their latest slash'n'burn opus (hint-hint, Quenten).

It's their best song.  When I first heard it, I thought it was a 70's oldie-electro-pop-love-ballad, but looked it up and saw that it was not that old.  It's breathy, funky, and retro sound sold me immediately. However, it's an outlier single for this band as most of the rest of their music sounds completely different.

Most people probably have forgotten the song "Diana" which, I believe, was written as a smitten love song for Princess Di.  Absolutely great song that was only put out on an EP.  Probably one of his best rockers ever.

Kind of a forgotten classic. Very underrated rock love song!

It's amazing that this band existed in Zambia where I don't picture any rock going on. It's their own brand of heavy and while it's not quite as good as some other stuff I've heard, it's def. a great addition to WMBR's record library.

Maybe 'Shout' shouldn't have been on there- but 50% duds? I don't think so..... A very good mix of Isleys material- from Between the Sheets to It's Your Thing- (well over 10 years apart) and in between....
The Isleys were a great funky soul group whose finest songs extended WELL beyond 3+3, without 'That Lady' that LP would not have been very special anyways....

I was at a mall here in Kansas City back in 1997 when I found this rare single. I had never heard it and took the chance and snpped it right up! Boy am I glad! I've been a big fan of Ms. Joli's ever since she came out with "Come To Me" and "The Heart To Break The Heart",etc. Of the 5 mixes on the single,my fave is the Junior Vocal mix at 10:04. I really wish France could have made it bigger here in the US. She has an incredible voice and I still love listening to her. To all those fans who don't have it,I strongly suggest ordering her greatest hits CD. It's wonderful! I still have her first 2 albums on vinyl and a couple of 12"singles.

Great CD. This is one of Mike's finest efforts. Mixing instrumentals, pop and album rock together on one album is an inspired choice. While 'Islands' the first single was a moderate hit in the UK the real succcess story for this album is 'Magic Touch'. The single was really promoted by Virgin in the USA where it reached the top 10 on Billboard's album rock charts in 1988. At the time surpassing Pink Floyd, Def leapard and INXS to name a few. Wow! The single was also released in Australia and Germany where FM rock stations added it to there playlists. I prefer the Jim Price version myself, his vocals are heavier. This song is such a departure for Mike considering his earlier material. Geoff Downes, a member of 80s rock band Asia, helped produce the song. I think it is Mike Oldfields best song besides Moonlight Shadow. It's an unfairly underrated classic that needs much more recognition.

This single isn't that great in it's entirety, it's repetitive and some of the remixes are just not that interesting.  However, Armand's Star Trunk Funkin' Remix is worth the whole cd.  His remix gets 5 stars or more.  This bassline is a must have!
Anyone who went to a club in '96-'97, you'll remember this one and how it made dance floors go crazy.  It still does that to me.  I love Tori when she's just with her piano, but I also love house music.  Some remixes of her songs are good,  but this is by far one of the best.

This single is fantastic.  The songs on here are reminiscent of the songs from the first eels album, "Beautiful Freak."
"Souljacker Part 1" is a catchy, rocking song that sticks to your brain.  And you can't go wrong with a B-side called "I Write the B-sides" can you?  It's now one of my favorite eels songs.  Plus you get a cover of the classic "Can't Help Falling in Love" AND it's enhanced with a video directed by Wem Wenders!

This, in my opinion, is one of Kid Creole's best songs. I have the album on tape and was especially impressed with "Dancin' At The Bains Douches". Why this band is not more famous than it is is a mystery to me.

One of Gerling's many classic and under-rated singles.  Heaps of people have probably heard it, hardly any would know it was Gerling.  Heavy, catchy electronic mixed with rock to show they can make music like nothing that's been heard before.
I already had a bit of Gerling's stuff and saw them live, and realised when they sang this classic it was actually their song!!!  This single version has some good mixes, and it's off their album "When Young Terrorists Chase The Sun" which sadly was originally released under that name in late 2001 when it was too late to change the name (I think it was originally scheduled for mid-September 2001 and it was too late to stop it going out as everything was already finalised and ready to hit the stores).

If you don't own this record, you don't love house music.  Coming at the tail end of the 80s/early 90s, this is seminal, slick, highly addictive late-night house, including club anthems like VOODOO RAY and the even more amazing title track AUTOMANIKK, etc.  I, for one, don't really care for Gerald' more recent forays into drum & bass, and I wish he would go back to basics.  Recorded over 15 years ago - and STILL ahead of its time.  Sorta astounding Sony released this underground house album on a major label?  It would NEVER happen today.  Same as it ever was...p.s. Watch 24 PARTY PEOPLE to catch the power of VOODOO RAY on the dancefloor at the legendary Hacienda!

It's a great cover from one of the most underrated rock bands of the 80s-90s.  I saw them play it live (They are still Rocking In America)

Personal Jesus is a great song.  This is what made Depeche Mode even bigger, to include more of the everday folks!  Dangerous, which is not released on any album or collection is right here on this little CD Single!  GREAT SONG!  I have been a Depeche Mode fan for along time and I remember  the DJ's playing this song on the radio.  I did not own the CD Single at  that time!  Not too long ago I picked up this single for myself.  Not even  realizing Dangerous was on this CD! What a plesant surprise!  The listing  does not even mention that Dangerous is on the single!
I honestly I can't  believe more people have not written reviews on this one!
Trust me it  is worth it, "They're the one's that I would choose"

The Only Exclusive Track Is "I Am The Bullgod"(Live) Which Is Fairly Decent,It's Dissappointing This CD Isn't Enhanced But If You Want The CD-Rom Video For Cowboy It Can Be Picked Up On CD2 Of Bawitdaba. This Track Is Taken From The Album "Devil Without A Cause" Which Is A Great Album Which Includes This Track And Also The Hits "Bawitdaba","I Am The Bullgod" And The Slow But Powerful "Only God Knows Why"."Devil Without A Cause" Is A Definate For Your Collection But This Single Doesn't Look Too Bad There Anyhow.
