3.0 out of 5 stars Get the import!, May 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

Bow Wow Wow have some great tunes, but my favorites are all on the IMPORT The Best of Bow Wow Wow, not this domestic version. The import has the original versions, which I prefer. The tracks on the domestic CD are overproduced and play like "extended disco versions".

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the worlds most underrated bands, December 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of Bow Wow Wow (Audio CD)

Bow Wow Wow have always been just a band that only a few people have heard of , let alone listened to, but they have always deserved a lot more than this. The musicianship on all their songs is top notch especially the bass playing and the drumming.I honestly would say that Leroy Gorman (the bassist ), is the best, fastest amd most interesting bass player that I have ever heard. All in all, it is a great album by one of the real anomalies of pop music. Buy and be pleasantly delighted.

5.0 out of 5 stars I haven't listened to this stuff since the 80's...., March 26, 2001

...I must say it's nice to come back to after hearing the dreck that's out nowadays. The drums & bass on this CD are far above what you hear these days. The bass player is very funky in a non-overkill-slapping way (e.g. Flea). He's sort of a cross between Rocco Prestia (Tower of Power) with a little bit of Mark King (another Brit, from Level 42) thrown in. Very rhythmic stuff and more power to them in pulling it off in a post-punk/new-wave pop era & style. One thing the CD lacks is the naughty song "Sexy Eiffel Tower" which is sort of the 80's version of a Donna Summer album (a lot of heavy breathing). But overall this is an excellent CD for the money for an underrated and hard-to-find band.
