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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This takes me back......., 10 Jun 2007
By Ms. L. J. Oliver "lisa_joli" (Cheshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
to when I was a mere 13 years old and I bought this album on a whim having liked Reward and Treason. It was a wise impulse purchase as I loved it and played it to death. I had it on vinyl and have recently bought the cd, it sounds just as good now as it did then. He really is an unsung/unacknowledged musical and lyrical genius. Btw, has anyone else realised robbie williams stole from him with the line "is there a tumour in your humour?" If you're going to steal then steal from the best I suppose!

It's hard to choose a stand out track from an album packed with great songs, however, I always loved "Thief of Baghdad" as a kid and still do now: listening to it takes me back instantly to the bedroom I'd painted partly black (I was allowed to do one wall as a concession by my increasingly concerned parents), I'd lie there in the semi-dark writing really bad poetry, listening to Julian and feeling like he somehow knew how I thought! I'm not so likely to be listening to him in these conditions these days - most often in the car driving to sainsburys, I no longer write the bad poetry but at least this is still great music.

Anyway, if you liked him then or are discovering him now, this is one hell of a good album, enjoy!
