New Wave music reviews

I recall that when this CD came out ther reaction by the fans of Talk Talk was one of horror. And I must admit, as a Talk Talk fan it WAS pretty odd that a band who had been moving away from any sort of dance music (if early hits like "Talk Talk" or "Its My Life" can be classified as dance music, which I think they can) to come out with this.

Of course, the truth was that EMI did the remixes without the band's knowledge and a big rwo ensued after this album's release. Basically the band did not want to pay for remixes they did not approve.

However (!) in the end I find this to be a interesting, well done remix album. There are a lot of nice mixes here, love the Fluke remix for example. One needs to enjoy this album as a mid 90s dance music example and not so much as a Talk Talk album per se.

This album has the Amadeus Salieri Mix with the spoken dates!!

,BUT WILL BE AVAILABLE ON DECEMBER 28TH, 1999 IF YOU ARE A FALCOS' FAN YOU WILL LOVE THIS SELECTION. IS AN IMPORTED ITEM.THANKS

The 80's produced a lot of unlistenable music. These are the good bands

it's the best alboum i know and i know meny...go and bay it!!!...

I am a fan of Duran Duran since i am 9 years old and i think that Simon Le Bon's voice is the best on earth and Save a prayer is my favorite song. Please write for me and tell me how i could get the video of the clips of Duran Duran.

I dont know, I am a guy and at first i didnt like it at all but the more i listen to it the more im in love with it. I LOVE IT!!

This is the music that comes to mind when I think new wave; fast beats with a punk undertone, high energy and fun. It's on my list of top 50 albums of all time (bear in mind I'm a huge new wave fan). I can play this entire album without skipping any tracks. If you like this one, you should also try When the Going Gets Tough by Bow Wow Wow.

General Public has been a master of bringing world music into the mainstream. I advise everyone to buy a copy of this one. If you like it, they have a soundtrack by the same name that will knock your socks off. It features several versions of this song played in the most diverse styles that a person could imagine. This band is awesome!

GARY NEUMAN MEETS HOWARD JONES?....WELL, MAYBE. ALL I KNOW IS THAT I'VE BEEN HAUNTED BY MEMORIES OF THE TITLE TRACK FOR 24 YEARS AND NOW I FINALLY GET TO KEEP MY OWN COPY. IT WAS ONLY VERY, VERY RECENTLY THAT I WAS TRULY ABLE TO RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER BECAUSE OF A WILLFUL DECEPTION PERPETRATED AGAINST ME BY A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. I EVENTUALLY DISCOVERED THAT I WAS IN COMMUNION WITH ONLY A CAREFULLY CRAFTED ILLUSION AND NOT WITH THE TRUE ESSENCE OF THE YOUNG LADY HERSELF.

In addition to the fact that all the tracks are from master tapes, they have also included all the 12" versions, including ours(Razormaid). [Although they should have asked permission first] Anyone collecting Peter Godwin, this is the CD to get! - jw

This song by far is the best of their latest album. It has a realy tight beat to complement an equally tight song structure. It also has one heck of a chorus. This is a very accessable song in the realm of electronic music.

As far as this single is concerned the Radio Edit is a nice version that's only slightly shorter than the album version. Although frankly if you have to choose between the album's version and the radio edit the album version wins. But if you don't have the album (and shame on you because Sensor is a great album) or you're pressed for those precious seconds on that mix CD/Tape then this will do in a pinch.

I have always enjoyed extended mixes of songs and the Extended Version is no different. You really get a chance to soak up the instrumentation and rhythms of this song. Nothing is really added to this mix as far as instruments or crazy beats. Just more of the good stuff found on the original mix.

I have never been a fan of any of the Mellow Trax remixes. The beat feels dated for a club mix and all the magic from the original song is kinda mixed away. Still it's the most unique mix of this CD single. It's not necessarily bad. Just not that good. Telephone Sensor is a nice little instrumental song that I find very endearing. It takes you a little back with some retro synth elements, however the song feels new. A great tune.

The only reason for getting this single would be for the extended version and Telephone Sensor in my opinion. The rest you can do without.

I didn't even know Camouflage were around anymore, so you can imagine my surprise when I found this at my local record store. It's wonderful!!! It's everything a Depeche Mode song SHOULD be, but better. The remixes are excellent and I can't wait to get the new album, "Sensor," which I will probably have to order from Amazon. If you remember Camouflage from the late 80's/early 90's, or if you just dig Depeche Mode-style music, BUY THIS!
