5.0 out of 5 stars driving force!!!, October 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Warm, In Your Coat (Audio CD)

i had the good fortune a couple weeks ago to see romeo void(most of the orginal members assembled)live at the whiskey(one of the venues they played years ago)in los angeles. they were the first of other bands that will be filmed for an new vh-1 series called 'bands reunited,' airing in 2004. i wont spend time here reviewing their live performance other than to say that after all these years they sounded a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!! just like this cd. extremely tight! they are the quintessential beatnik band. their funky guitar riffs and sax with an attitude give them cohesion. prominent deep bass lines give them their foundation and debora iyall gives them their stamp...their i.d., if you will. she is irreplaceable. she has a sexy, sultry delivery whether she is using spoken word or singing that she doesnt 'try' to do...it simply occurs. she is a very intelligent woman who is also an accomplished artist and has been focusing most of her energies on this for the last 20 years. lets not forget that she met her original bandmates in art school many moons ago. she also teaches art to kids. this band has been underrated and glossed over. however, i predict after this performance is aired on vh-1 somethings gonna happen. first and foremost, a whole new generation of people will be hip to r.v. and will want to get their hands on any recordings they can find.

5.0 out of 5 stars A biased review, January 27, 2004

This review is from: Warm, In Your Coat (Audio CD)

This CD was put out by Sony back when the idea of releasing the entire catalog of the band was out of the question. There was very little interest on their part in investing money on what they considered a less than successful band. At the time Romeo Void was happy just to have something out on cd. It's a decent representation of the band,includes my favorite tune "I Mean It" off the 1st album "It's a Condition". One negative-someone at the label decided to change the beginning of "Nvr Say Nvr",it's missing the beginning guitar only intro that Peter Woods played on the original. Look for the "Best of 415" cd, has the unedited "NvrSayNvr" as well as "Not Safe". "Warm.."still is a good package otherwise,great liner notes and fotos, and the only place one can hear "1,000 Shadows", a demo written for a movie and recorded at the bands' home studio.. The last album,"Instincts" is now on cd also, Wounded Bird Records licensed it for release. Romeo Void was just featured on a new VH1 series called "Bands Reunited" and response was positive so it may lead to more material on cd eventually, maybe something live.

I hadn't thought about Romeo Void in a long time when I came across Deborah Iyall's solo LP at a second-hand sale. That rekindled my interest and I immediately bought this compilation CD. It has been in steady rotation in my collection ever since. "NVR SAY NVR" and "Girl in Trouble" are both great songs, but so is everything else here. I saw Romeo Void at the Ritz on 11th Street in NYC back in the mid-80s and they were fantastic. A totally memorable show from a great band with the coolest lead singer of the 80s. Check out her recent CD with Knife in Water, too.
