Going off the rails and off most of the charts, I always had a like of this album.

a ha - Memorial Beach - Compared to their hits and better known albums, this was a moody one, beyond the few tracks that tried to lighten up the show. Favorites, "How Sweet It Was," "Turn to Stone" (an epic for them at that time), and "Locust." This was the point where a lot of people counted Norway's Pop titans out before the Late 90's return, although there's still one mention in a best of 1993 (in Q I think it was) to remind me that there was someone else listening.

Madness - Mad Not Mad - The Nutty Boys get all reflective and moody after Mike Barson left them after Keep Moving, but they way they did it was still with some sharp humor and style. "Yesterday's Men," "I'll Compete," "Mad Not Mad," and "Tears You Can't Hide" remain top songs. Kind of loses it's grip on side Two, but I got this back in '86 in the Cut Outs, and I still have that well-played copy.


The Monkees cult following has turned the Head Soundtrack into a classic album, but I first heard this back before the re-issues, knowing a time when it was not so cool to rave about the album to the film that at one time hardly anyone saw (which now, of course, many have).
These are all pretty cool stuff and I hugely enjoy all of them....
