5.0 out of 5 stars Flashback To Stronger Music!, October 19, 2004

I wish I had a decent description for Imagination's type
of music.I really don't but the most I can say is that I've never heard anything else quite like it-Imagination's sound was and is totally original.I suppose the best way to explain it is a very glossy variation of American dance-funk and European
electronica.The title track,with it's pounding beat is probably the closest thing to pure funk on this album.Meanwhile "So Good,So Right","Burnin' Up","Tell Me Do You Want My Love" and
the unforgettable "Flashback" all have that patented Imagination sound I've been trying to explain-a sound that I suppose gave birth to both the dance-pop and house movements of the later part of the decade.But it's "I'll Always Love You (But Don't Look Back)" that surprised me so much-it's a stripped down ballad performed only on acoustic piano and proves that this trio had the skilled songwriting abilities to back up their
purpulsive beats and rhythms.All of these qualities make 'Body Talk' an essencial for anyone interested not only in great music but any fan of early 1980's dance and funk.

I first heard Imagination's song Just an Illusion on the soundtrack of F/X the movie back in 1981. These three guys Leee (yes, 3 E's)Steve and Ashley are absolutely amazing!!! The piano and Leee's voice will have you listening to these songs over and over. I have been a fan of this group since their debut Body Talk in 1981 followed by In the Heat of the Night. I was so very sad and dissappointed to learn they had disbanded in 1998.

This review is from: Body Talk (Audio CD)

Frankly, I've never paid any attention to this trio of performers, but, after reading the reviews of others on amazon, I decided to take a chance and purchase "Body Talk." I have to admit, this is good stuff! Pay particular attention to the title track, "Body Talk!" You may find yourself looping it over and over. The rest of the disc is also good. These gentlemen apparently had talent. If you can get it at a good price, I recommend the album!
