| George Michael Older |
Any U.K resident alive in the 90's should instantly recognise "fastlove." The track is catchy, upbeat, funky and
cleverly samples Patrice Rushen (as did the men in black theme but not as tastefully.) All in all its textbook pop
music. Strangely though, the track is surrounded by the polar opposite, with slow, brooding, balled-esque
numbers like "Jesus to a child" and "older", the latter flirting more with a jazzy feel with extended trumpet soloing.
Futhermore there's tracks like "star people" and "spin the wheel " with their elements of downtempo experimental
dance which could easily be the soundtrack to an amsterdam coffee shop. George is on the top of his game as
usual though; his voice is as clear and smooth as ever, and his lyrics take on some seriously deep shit, the prime
example being "you have been loved" which has brought many a hairy tattooed biker to tears. Check it. |

Chester beddington is on the top of his game here. Lyric-wise he cuts deep due to the heroin and crack he was
heavily addicted to at the time. Vocal wise he's a lot more centered on a clean style of singing, but occasionally
throws power into his voice which would become a staple in linkin park's debut. The rest of the band conjurs up a
dark backdrop for chester to sing over, but also rock out when the moments right. That said though, even the
production is very early 90s, it adds to the sound rather than demeans it. All of the tunes are insanely catchy,
thus could be describes as dark rock pop (grunge pop?)
A seriously overlooked gem. |

| Thomas Dolby The Flat Earth |
| Outstanding. Dolby's follow up album is of very high quality indeed. Every track has it's own unique feel, resulting in a listen that simply catches you off guard. Even though only one track is remotely similar to his debut new wave style, each track is very professionally executed. |

The usual holdsworth-esque shenanigans here, albeit slightly more accessible than later releases. Holdsworth's
backup weapon: the synthaxe, makes it's debut here, which compliments the music nicely (although it just
sounds like a keyboard) and a stunning female vocalist adds a nice twist to the music in the later tracks, singing
those "off" notes that Holdsworth specialises in. Although not AS accessable as metal fatigue, some of
Holdsworth's trickiest leads are featured here, and puts other guitarists to shame, in a very English way. |

| A great collection of demos to what the songs would later become. It's interesting to hear how morse developed his soloing into what would be the final product. The rest of the band rips as usual, with rod morgenstein showing a bit more presence with his drumming, notably on "ice cakes." |
