Given the chance, I could rave all day about the beauty and clarity of Vika and Linda's vocals. Add to their vocal talent, the songwriting of the likes of Paul Kelly, Wayne Burt, Stephen Cummings, Joe Camileri, Mark Seymour, Nick Barker, Nick Smith and Eris O'brien and you end up with this little slice of heaven. Firmly placed in my top 5 albums of all time, I would recommend "Vika and Linda" without hesitation to any music lover. If you have doubts, take the time to listen to a couple of tracks before you buy - their voices will convince you if my review doesn't.

i bought this album one morning wandering around a record shop in a groggy state - when i put the headphones on the clarity of vika and linda's voices cut straight through the haze and i couldn't resist it. little did i know at the time that the last song on the album ("the blue hour") would become one of my all-time favourite songs - it's a mesmerising ballad with clarinets rolling and surging behind the crystal clear voices. every time i listen to this track it affects me beautifully. the rest of the album is bouncy happy (slightly reggae and slightly country) stuff that can irritate a little but is generally uplifting. australian music god paul kelly had a lot to do with the album, helping write a number of the songs.
