5.0 out of 5 stars The Lotus Eaters, Furniture, The Assembly... Enough said., June 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hardest Hits Volume -4- (Audio CD)

This compilation will astonish you. The downside with this CD is that once you get a taste of bands like The Lotus Eaters, you will want more. And there your troubles will begin.

Much of this music is long out-of-print. And don't bother making inquiries at your local used record store, their ignorance will drain you. Instead, spend your hours surfing for used vinyl sites. And find constructive outlets for your frustration.

Just don't say I didn't warn you.

5.0 out of 5 stars I should buy a second copy, in case this one is stolen!, June 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Hardest Hits Volume -4- (Audio CD)

Finding this CD a few years ago was like finding a long lost friend. (Yes, I have lots of friends, but some are closer than others)... I played this entire cd in the car- (after buying it, and played Vicious Pink TWICE)- I closed my eyes- and suddenly I could see the red head in leopard-skin tights dancing in front of me. I was home, and didn't want to leave.... Songs like 88 lines about 44 women, Life in Tokyo, Everywhere I Go- aren't just music recordings, but (to many of us)- part of where we've been, and who we are. I used to laugh at the way my parents would stare off into space when certain songs came on the radio- now I find myself doing the same thing, (particularly when I'm playing this cd). The recordings on this disc are perfect, and many are extended 12" versions YOU WILL NOT FIND elsewhere. If you're trying (like many of us your age)to buy all of these rare dance cuts, do yourself a favor and buy this disc-..., before long these songs will be pushed out of the market by awful, unimaginative, pop/marketing swill, and you'll wish you had bought this disc when you could have..Trust Me...

Hardest Hits [BOX SET] [IMPORT] has volumes 3-5 at less than 25 bux here on amazon, so all you have to do is hunt down volume 2 (disc 1 was pulled off the market due to licensing reasons). Odd name for this SPG series, but I assume they mean Hardest to find on CD hits...almost entirely made up of 12" versions this is a series that will help you get rid of a load of 12" singles-and introduce you to some new wave tracks you may have missed out on back in the 80s. Track times on this volume:

1. never never (5:51)

2. san damiano (6:35)

3. money (5:50)

4. take me now (6:20)

5. 88 lines (5:30)

6. escalator of life (4:41)

7. you don't need someone new (6:05)

8. Everywhere I Go (4:18)

9. brilliant mind (7:00)

10. life in Tokyo (7:05)

11. planet earth (6:20)

12. into the fire (5:44)

13. let me go (6:23)
