5.0 out of 5 stars A POP MASTERPIECE, April 9, 2001

Originally released in 1979, Stateless is an album of the absolute cream of late 70s post-punk pop from the famous Stiff Records label. Most songs are written by Lovich and Les Chappel, including the quirky Lucky Number, which was a huge hit. Not all are bright, happy numbers: Home, Too Tender (To Touch) and Momentary Breakdown are sad but beautiful torch songs, and there's a great version of Nick Lowe's Tonight and the old standard I Think we're Alone Now. This music has aged well and in retrospect, the following could also have been chart singles: Say When (equally quirky!), Telepathy, and One In A Million. Although welcome, the additional (Plus?) tracks add nothing spectacular since this album has always been perfect as it was. With such talent, it's a pity Lene faded into obscurity.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Classic Pop CD, January 24, 2004

You cannot go wrong with this CD. The musicality of Lene Lovich and the originality of her tunes are very hard match when compared with other music releases of the time or even presently.

Lene Lovich has perfect pitch and her voice inflections and intonations are complex and reveal a high level of skill and soul. The reinforcing music is tight and solid. A strong beat and a very clean mix on the engineers board are also apparent.

There are only a few weak numbers on the entire CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stateless, November 30, 1999

Debut album by vocal wizard Lene Lovich. Ms Lovich began her vocal career by dubbing screams in many horror films which accounts for her strong vocal ability. This album serves up delicious 80's flavor new wave with superior recording and production.
