4.0 out of 5 stars Quirky and innovative, 27 Mar 2007
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This 1979 album from the experimental band Flying Lizards contains at last four classics: Der Song von Mandalay, TV, Summertime Blues and Money (That's What I Want). The first is a camp ballad with a gripping female vocal, the second is a weird and hypnotic pop song sung partly in French that reminds me of the artist Cristina of the famous Ze label. It ends in a series of atonal vocal loops. The third and the fourth are minimalist deconstructions of the old classics; the first with an aloof female lead vocal with male vocal infusions and strange innovative percussion, the second quite similar but with more charming electronic bleeps and found sounds.

Dub techniques are used throughout the album to great effect, whilst the arrangements on the aforementioned four highlights are superb. The other songs like Her Story and The Flood are not as memorable and are mainly percussive explorations, sometimes with muffled vocal samples. Tracks like Trouble and Events During Flood fall into the ambient category, being quite moody and evocative instrumentals. This CD reissue contains three new tracks, including the single edit of Money. Those whose musical tastes include artists as diverse as The Residents, Material, Was (Not Was), Lene Lovich, The Slits, Nina Hagen and Meredith Monk will definitely love this album.
