5.0 out of 5 stars Second only to The Beatles' "Revolver", 16 Nov 2000
By robr65@hotmail.com (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
Released in 1980, this is one of the most cohesive, timeless and brilliant debut albums in pop history. The madcap musical visions of Julian Cope's world first came to fruition with Liverpool's (now-legendary) Teardrop Explodes. This newly remastered version also contains B-sides that have been unavailable for years.

From "Sleeping Gas" to "Treason" to "Reward" to the stunning "When I Dream", this album was the perfect hybrid of late-60's psychedelia, new wave and big-arrangement POP. The lyrics veer from crytic to whimsical and are memorable even 20 years after the first listening. Using a dazzling array of horns, keyboards and melodies, "Kilimanjaro" is, for any music collection, A MUST.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very possibly the best pop album ever recorded, 5 Mar 2002
By A Customer
How did so much energy ever make it into one slice of vinyl ?

Liverpool in 1980 was a dismal pit of a place, yet this is one of the brightest, most cheerful and simply uplifting records ever made. It's like Prozac with grooves on.

Please play Reward at my funeral. Even I'll be dancing for that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Definitive Version, 28 Nov 2000
While the 24 bit remastering and inclusion of rare songs should please all fans, even those who own this in its earlier incarnation, this version sadly just falls short of definitive status. Left off is the rough and ready early mix of Reward found on various other versions of Kilimanjaro. Some of these songs have been remixed but can be found in near-identical versions on the deleted but easy to find "...Everybody Wants to Shag the Teardrop Explodes".

While this album IS timeless, it is not varied enough to be compared to Revolver as above. All of the songs seem to blend into one same-sounding, horn-speckled hallucination. A more pertinent comparison would be a less guitar- based Chameleons or anything by the Icicle Works.

Until the definitive box set comes out, buy this!
