4.0 out of 5 stars more good than bad, March 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Platinum Girl: Tribute to Blondie (Audio CD)

I was a big Blondie fan in the '80's, but bought this cd just to hear Tiffany sing Call Me. She was her usual awesome self, and was very faithful to the original. In any tribute album, many artists are going to improvise, sometimes for the better, sometimes worse. A few of these--The Tide is High, Sunday Girl, Dreaming--I felt were ruined. But there were several pleasant surprises. To me, Ex-Voto actually improved Accidents Never Happen, speeding it up a bit and going heavy on the drums. I prefer the female voice, but the male voices fit this song. Great job. I 'discovered' Cherie Currie on this CD. She sang For Your Eyes only and has an excellent voice. I also liked the Electric Hellfire Club's Rush Rush quite a bit. Mephisto Waltz did a good job with Hangin' on the Telephone; as did the Swing Cats w/ Christi Ellen Harris with I'm Gonna Love You Too.

I have to agree with most people that the other 'Blondie Tribute' albums ("How Many Bands Does It Take to Screw up a Blondie Tribute" and the one with the Blondie postage stamp on the cover) sound like the same band doing all the songs. THIS ONE HOWEVER, has some interesting twists and turns on how the songs sound. I like the fact that they didn't just try to make the same version a la 'Blondie'. NO!, they did something different to the songs. "Shayla" was made upbeat. "For Your Eyes Only" was made downbeat. Both "Raptures" have an interesting twist. "Accidents Never Happen" is done a la 'Human League' with a guy and a girl vocal from that 80's sound. Then you also have your hard metal/electroclash renditions as well. "Sunday Girl" is dark and gothic. The only 'wart' on this album is Tiffinay's version of "Call Me". She sounds like she recorded it in the mall.
