Product Description

CD Description

Ironically, INXS's best and most experimental album came out exactly when the album-buying public had ceased paying much attention to them. After the multi-platinum success of 1987's KICK, the disappointing sales of 1990's follow-up X brought whispers of "has-been" to the Australian combo, and the fine LIVE BABY LIVE was largely viewed as an attempt to coast on former glories.
1992's WELCOME TO WHEREVER YOU ARE answered these accusations with surprising grace and subtlety. Arranged and largely written by keyboardist Andrew Farriss, these 12 tracks are almost Beatles-esque in their melodic canniness and sharply etched, multi-layered production. The first single, "Not Enough Time", is a particular delight, a breathy, atmospheric pop song that's as smart and pretty as 10cc at its creative peak.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute masterpiece!, 18 Jan 2004
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This album is a classic, a set of songs of amazing variety and great melodic depth. I love the sitars and tabla on Questions and the raucous rock of Heaven Sent. Communication is a catchy slice of pop-rock with a driving beat, Taste It sounds like one the Stones’ funky ballads with its jerky rollicking rhythm, whilst Not Enough Time is a soulful love song with beautiful vocals and gripping chorus.

All Around is a powerful up-tempo rock gem and the tuneful Baby Don’t Cry with its sixties flavour and uplifting harmonies is irresistible. One of the highlights of this great album is the poignant Beautiful Girl, where great lyrics, vocals and playing gel into a pop masterpiece. Back On Line, Strange Desire and Men and Women are great too.

There are no duds on Welcome To Wherever You Are. It is one of those rare albums where every track offers something special. Inxs’ s mastery of such a variety of styles is impressive. This is probably one of the very best, and most underappreciated, rock albums of the 1990s.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant... , 9 Sep 2003
By Mr. Naveed H. Siddiqui (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
sublime lyrics, and rhythms that you certainly `feel'. This is an album which all fans of pop/rock and even the remotest fans of INXS fans will enjoy. The songs are very rich and you really do want to listen to them repeatedly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Their most complete album, 22 Feb 2000
By A Customer
INXS head off into a wise change of direction following the sucess of Kick and X. The album begins soaked in Indian influences and ends with dark shards of guitars and orchestra. In between there's the snarling vocals of Heaven Sent, the chattering Communication, the beautiful Not Enough Time and Beautiful Girl and the Stonesy swagger of All Around. Add to that Taste It's rolling drums, moments of pschydelia and the album's best moment, the life-affirming Baby Don't Cry (with INXS's best ever chorus) and you get a fantastic mix of great pop moments, rock and roll, dance and songs that other bands should give their back teeth for...
