Indie pop electro punk. Had some cool grooves.

Few can stand with Stevie. A master. I don’t know the entirety of his catalog but this would appear to be a downbeat in mood for his oeuvre. Melancholic but uplifting. Boogie on Reggae Woman was a nice funky reprieve with a bitching harmonica solo. They Won’t Go When I Go was the highlight for me. I’ll keep this album in mind should I ever get divorced.

Apparently Dusty is British. The golden age of Brits stealing American soul and selling it right back to us. But they do it pretty well. This is a solid debut solo album. A lot of hits. The tracklist has several covers and Dusty’s version of some of these might very well be the definitive one. Do Re Mi really showed off a low timbre that I like about her voice. Wishin’ and Hopin’ was a bop in its day. I didn’t really care for the b-side but the final track, Summer is Over, was probably my favorite.

The tribute to Syd Barrett’s plunge in to and out of rock stardom and sanity. My favorite Floyd album and arguably one of the best ever. I can’t hear Pink Floyd without smelling Lindquist’s basement. “Which one’s Floyd?”

It’s interesting to hear the 80’s synth/electronica shift at the end of the decade. This album showcases all these new wave dorks plugging away at their synthesizers for the better part of the 80’s and finding an edge to their bleep boops. Personal Jesus always gets me pumped, one I always confuse with Nick Cave for some reason. Enjoy the Silence is a great tune, very cool ending that you don’t get to hear on radio play. I just can’t shake the feeling of being in some dark 32 bit Genesis game while listening to this. I appreciate the album but don’t think I’d revisit except the aforementioned.
