5.0 out of 5 stars
Super-glossy pop that demands to be revisited,
By Truecolours09 (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dollar (Audio CD)
For a child in the early eighties, Dollar seemed like the epitome of untouchable glamour and sophistication. Whenever they appeared on a Saturday seaside special or on Top Of The Pops, they performed as if in some hermetically sealed bubble of pop perfection. Since that time, Dollar's media image has been somewhat tarnished by reality show meltdowns, botched comebacks and various legal issues.That's a real shame, as 'The Dollar Album' remains a brilliant collection of pure pop music. Trevor Horn's production on a handful of the tracks here is phenomenal - far ahead of its time with its electronic wall of sound that is somehow both machine-like yet also beautifully human. 'Videotheque' and 'Give Me Back My Heart', in particular, are as fresh now as they were nearly 30 years ago. Across the whole album, Dollar maintain their serious approach to this lightest of lighweight glossy pop - just because they were working within the pop genre, they never seemed throwaway or interested only in commercial success. The bonus tracks (alternative versions of the biggest hits from the album) are interesting but not essential. To have this album on CD, with the artwork intact, is like welcoming back an old friend. It may not be to everyone's taste but - as a soundtrack to growing up in the eighties or for anyone who loves melodic pop music - this album is kinda magic.

3.0 out of 5 stars
3.5,
By Cheshire Dave (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dollar (Audio CD)
In retrospect, I think I was a Trevor Horn fan rather than a Dollar fan. Although when Therese was dressed in that... anyway, the singles are fantastic, all totally terrific top ten Trevor produced tunes, but all the fillers are pretty lame and of their time. If the extra tracks had been fantastic extended remixes, that would have been brilliant, but they are all sparsely produced (compared to the final versions) demos, and not Alternative Trevor Horn Mixes. Definitely demos, no matter what anyone says! I must admit that I play this in the car quite a lot, but just the over-the-top-produced singles. Videotheque is a killer track. It's the syn-drums just before the chorus that does it. I know I'm in a minority of 1, but there you go... a 3.5.
