A Milestone in the Making !,
By
This review is from: Voyeur (Audio CD)
New band line up, new attitude, new Berlin for the millennium;one vital ingredient that remains the same is Terri Nunn's strong, vocals.It's about time a truly gifted musical (and underrated talent) comes out to show the Britneys and American Idol Wannabes how it's really done and what it takes (to survive in the music industry) ! In addition,comparisons to Dale Bozio from critics need to stop. They (critics) only wish Dale Bozio from Missing Persons could have the vocal range and songwriting sensibility that Nunn possesses !This new project after 16 years is fresh updated material with a menagerie of different musical pop/rock styles. The music is now more organic sounding with a bit more acoustical flavor. There are a few semi-techno or rave tracks but not enough to send the rest of the set to techno club status. The special hidden bonus track of Pleasure Victim (from 1982) is a live slowed down version minus the new wave synth sound. On this track you can hear Terri's sheer vocal talent getting a workout! The greatest thing about Berlin is that you can listen to all 4 full length albums (Pleasure Victim, Love Life, Count Three and Pray, Voyeur)and each one stands on it's own merit. They are each very different despite the first 3 produced during the new wave era of the early 80's up to the Top Gun sound of 1986...The days of the cold and calculated new wave synth sounds are gone for good !In place we get a refined, reformed group led by one of today's hottest female musical talents around...

Terri may have a hit on her hands....,

This review is from: Voyeur (Audio CD)
WOW. I never thought that Terri Nunn would be able to come up with something this good after hearing the 3 new studio tracks at the end of the "Sacred and Profane" Live CD. I thought she was moving in a different direction, what with all the rap-type stuff contained in those tracks. This CD is reminescent of Madonna's "Ray of Light". A little different, but sorta has that feel to it. I really am diggin this CD, so if you are a fan of Berlin, have no fear, this is a no brainer...get it! Now if we can just get Ms. Nunn & company to play east of Vegas, we might get a good show here on the East Coast. Ps. Don't miss the hidden bonus track at the end of the record, an amazing acoustic version of the song "Pleasure Victim". An outtake from the last live CD perhaps? No matter, Berlin (in whatever form) still make great music and Terri Nunn has never sounded better!

Incredible comeback for Terri,

This review is from: Voyeur (Audio CD)
I just got this from amazon and am listening to it for the 1st time right now. In one word - incredible! I have always been a Berlin fan, and this album (album? am I showing my age?) blows me away just like all the other ones did. My favorites right now are "Drug", "To a King", and "Blink of an Eye", but each and every song is a killer! If you have ever liked Berlin, or just thought you might like Berlin if it was 1984 and you were 18 again, you must get this album! Terri's vocal are just as powerful as they were 20 years ago. Anyone who reads this should call your local radio station and request any of the songs you like. This CD needs airplay! Also, hang on for the hidden bonus track at the end (think "live acoustical guitar"). I would give this CD 6 stars if I could.
