5.0 out of 5 stars What a classic!, August 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Doppelganger (Audio CD)

If you don't know this record and the rest of the 'mimosa' trilogy, you are missing out on some of the most inventive music of the 80s. A combination of big band horn arrangements, R & B and dance with witty, knowing lyrics, this album is quite simply a classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time, June 14, 2004

Perry Der "I can read books!" (Gainesville, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Doppelganger (Audio CD)

The first time out, this album played well individually as singles (though no radio stations gave it the time of day)and as a very cohesive "story album". If you like hip street latin sounds (circa 1950-1982)meshed with wit, pop culture references, and sarcastic ironic hedonism, then this disc is for you, true believers!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Kid's Best Ever, January 3, 2003

Almost 20 years of waiting have paid off: Doppelganger is now available on CD. Scathing social commentary lurks behind fresh, exciting melodies. The unique fusion of styles and sounds render Doppelganger practically timeless.
