5.0 out of 5 stars
Dynamic collection from a dynamite group, July 5, 2009
This review is from: Collection (Audio CD)
Early 80s MTV viewers probably remember China Crisis best for the "Working With Fire and Steel" video and others will remember them from alternative radio. China Crisis never really caught on stateside and it's hard to understand why. China Crisis had a great ear for catchy hooks and melodies; not too far off from Crowded House, later Roxy Music and their oft-mentioned mentors Steely Dan. Walter Becker (ex-Steely Dan) produced a number of tracks from this collection along with Mike Thorne. I dare you not to enjoy any of these tracks...there's nary a dud in the lot of them. I was deep into China Crisis in the 80s and they're one of the groups who I bothered to replace vinyl with CDs when that time came. I regularly listen to them still, which is a testament to how good they are so many years on.
