5.0 out of 5 stars And don't it feel good..., January 31, 2001

There's more to Katrina and the Waves than "Walking On Sunshine, though that song alone puts them in the pantheon of power pop. Katrina has a great big powerful soul voice and The Waves were a tight and funky little oufit. Kimberly Rew is one of the least heralded guitarists out there but his playing is impeccable and his songwriting is a force to be reckoned with. The Waves first two albums were their best and Anthology wisely cherry picks the best of those two records. "Sunshine", "Going Down To Liverpool", "Que Te Quiero", and "Is That It?" are perfect little gems from a decade that had little else to reccomend it.Get this and get put some sunshine in your CD tray.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tunes for an undeserving world, August 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Anthology (Audio CD)

One of the great injustices of the music world was the inability of this band to sustain the popularity brought to them by their GREAT hit single "Walking On Sunshine." You remember that song. It was the one you cranked up on the volume during the summer of 1985.

What people failed to realize is that Katrina and the Waves were NOT a "one hit wonder" as they are so often thought. What's more, this "Best of" compilation, collects such musts as "Do You Want Crying" "Going Down To Liverpool" "Mexico" "Game of Love" "Cry For Me" "Que Te Quiero" and "Sun Street" just to name a few.

Buy this and make amends for having ignored this band for far too long!

5.0 out of 5 stars A good vision of the band's work., June 14, 1998

From "Walking On Sunshine" (yep!) to "I really taught me to Watusi",Katrina & the Waves make us enter their "pop-rock" world.And don't it feel good!! Of course,there are songs from "KatW" (85),"Waves" (86),"Break of hearts" (89) and "Pet the Tiger" (91).The first 2 ones contain some hits,the last 2 were unfair flops.But don't hesitate to get that CD,you'll never get enough of Katrina's voice and Kimberley Rew's skillful guitar.Too bad the summary of Katrina & the Waves' carrier stops in 91,because they recorded some good CDs after that(not so great I must admit).In 97 the band came in the sunlights again by winning the Eurovision Song Contest but their new CD "Walk On Water" didn't score,though Katrina is singing better than ever.Don't wait now,plunge into this anthology and appreciate the band's unfairly forgotten talent.
