4.0 out of 5 stars mid-80s British pop back in print with some bonus tracks and a visit from Sinead O'Connor, April 9, 2010

This review is from: Deception: Special Edition (Audio CD)

Not to be confused as a 'new wave' band because they are from Britain, recorded in the 80s, and member Terry Hall was in the Specials AND Fun Boy Three, The Colourfield does show some similarities to those bands at times, but also has a more pop/jazz fusion sound of the mid-80s, often reminding me of post-True Spandau Ballet. This reissue of the second of their two albums has excellent sound quality, even though I read it was supposedly poorly mastered. Along with a couple of b-side bonus tracks, you get the single remix of "She", a second version of "Monkey in Winter" with a pre-popularity Sinead O'Connor handling vocals beautifully, and, what doesn't make sense to me, the Arthur Baker DUB of Running Away (cover of a Sly Stone song). I don't understand WHY they didn't include the VOCAL 12" mix by Arthur Baker! The dub is a pretty pointless instrumental. Oh well, do they EVER get the track lists right on these reissues???

4.0 out of 5 stars A rare and undderated 80's gem., January 11, 2009

Sinead O'Connor covered "A Monkey In Winter" later in the 80's. I owned this album on cassette and bid high for a CD copy on Ebay. The lyrics are haunting and clever. The music was edgier and more progressive than 80's bands of the day. If you ever liked this band's other hits, this was the lost gem before they broke up. So glad to find this to download singles. I recommend "confession".
