5.0 out of 5 stars At last a best of worth the title, 20 Nov 2002
By Daniel Dalton - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is great. I can't be in a minority having been pushed into buying this on the basis of only a single track. I probaly am not the only person to have found myself in a minority for liking other tracks better in the end. at first I was hooked by "Insect Love," "Monotone" and others from the middle bit of the album, but in due couse it becomes apparent that this is a fairly complete piece of kit, with ecclectic styles and electronica mixed with conventional guitar and almost rockaday rhythms.
Part of the romance is that the themes to the songs are romanticised themselves, but without self conscious posturing or (one assumes) an excess of hair wax. It seems ephemeral somehow, but can be heard to exist, like memory. It has the advantage of working well in the background, on a walkman to, and from, work, or under scrutiny full volume. This must constitue a modern day grey-whistle, and can only point to fine songsmithery and witty lyrics.
My only gripe is down to culture shock. I'm still slightly bemused as to what "Cheesies" are. Any reading Canadians please advise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Canada's answer to Blondie ROCKS!, 7 Aug 2002
By Mr. J. E. B. Anness "James Anness" (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Most music fans in Britain and most listeners to FM commercial radio over the past 20 years or so will be famliar with Vancouver's Martha and the Muffins through their only British hit 'Echo Beach'.

This was a catchy and original New Wave offering which sounds as good as it did in 1980 as it does today. I was interested to find a compilation album listed on Amazon of the first three albums, 'Metro Music', 'Trance' and 'This is the Ice Age'. I purchased it expecting that the tracks on the album, which I hadn't heard (all but 'Echo Beach') would be up to the same standard. I was not disappointed. One thing that struck me listening to the songs I hadn't heard was that they were both as catchy as 'Blondie' (who I love), but more accessible than the New Yorkers on the first listen. Perhaps this is physchological due to the band being from the Commonwealth and having a British producer and consequently a sound similar to 'Pretenders'. This album is the first one I have listened to all the way through for a long time as it is so accessable. Martha Ladly has a pleasant, listenable style and I enjoy the way the sax and organ have been used as lead instruments on some tracks as well as guitars. The songs have a no nonsense feel which makes them simple but effective, and very little dated in the present music climate.

The songs are original, especially 'Insect Love' (Interspecies romance, anyone?) and the cover of 'Motorbikin'' is well done. Buy this album and get turned on to a great band that was unfairly passed over, and really needs to be appreciated today. The only fault is that the liner notes should have some more information for budding M+M fans like myself. Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't stop now, Amazon, eh!?, 6 Jan 2005
Dear Amazon,
Thank you for suggesting that I write a review for this album which I have ordered but which you know very well I'm not going to receive for another 3 weeks.
Tut tut! Pay attention.
I've given it five stars though just for "Echo Beach" alone.

4.0 out of 5 stars About insomnia
This album is worth buying for 'about insomnia' alone, a track which I fell in love with back in the eighties when it was a single that mystifyingly flopped. Read more
