"The Living Return" showed the band going very jazzy. The album underperformed in the UK, failing to chart, even though the single "La La (Means I Love You)" made No. 37. This is not the kind of album whose charms are apparent right away. Give it some spins and it will take you to a very hip place. Some fabulous slow and mid-tempo grooves going down. The ten-minute plus "Making The Right Move" is just amazing, as is the whole album. Sophisticated!

"it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing"
12 Jun 2004
Format:Audio CD
THE LIVING RETURN IS PROBABLY ONE OF TWO ALBUMS RECORDED BY SWING OUT SISTER THAT HAVE BEEN HEATEDLY DISCUSSED!! WHY, well, most people who have snubbed this recording CLAIM to be fans of true artists,singer-songwriters and musicians.UNFORTUNATELY, ALL THAT TALK IS REALLY A DISGUISE FOR wanting the same sound, arrangements and sentiments.
SWING OUT SISTER HAVE NEVER PUT OUT A BAD ALBUM, PERIOD.Here, on this recording the duo changes its direction with a more melodic,intimate, soulful live feel. ORGANIC would be another word to discribe the feel as well.A more live sound, instruments and vocals flowing and moving together effortlessly.Mellow, laid back but always swinging.Having all of their recordings opens you up to the ever changing lens that Andy and Corrine are experiencing at the time, so I really appreciate the rollercoaster this duo takes you on. Each dip and dive are impressive.
SWING OUT SISTER have been making music for some time and this album shows just how talented they are and how willing this duo is to continue to challenge themselves as well as new listeners and long time fans.ART will always challenge the status quo.Its job is to provoke and bring beauty.To open not just the mind but every part of your sensory perception.So if you have to ask just who is SWING OUT SISTER you will never get it.IF you love music, then the experience of THE LIVING RETURN will capture you,become part of your life's soundtrack.

No Compromising On This CD!
20 Mar 2000
Format:Audio CD
Those of us who are big fans often debate whether or not "The Living Return" is SOS's best CD. You'll make up your mind, then continue the debate in our chat room at swing-out-sister@lists.xmission.com.
After the sucess of "Get In Touch With Yourself", it would've been very easy for SOS to go on cruise control - I'm proud to say they didn't! The CD from start to finish takes you through all their musical influences and leaves you wanting more at the end. Highlights include "Making The Right Move", a very sensual Francis Lai type of song. "Feel Free" gives off the positive vibes both Andy & Corinne were feeling in the studio. "Mama Didn't Raise No Fool" is lyrically very catchy and often described as one of SOS's best tunes ever! There isn't a weak cut to be found. Some will complain that "Low Down Dirty Business" is out of place. I say they're just having fun and they want to share it with you.
Buy it, listen to it and "Feel Free" to pass it on to a good friend.
