CD Reviews

Warning: Wrong Tracklisting
Dede Korkut | 05/23/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I just want everyone who orders this CD to understand that the version you get sent here is NOT the one with 42 tracks. You only get 37 tracks and the tracklisting is not the same. Basically, you only get one song from the Live Berlin CD ("Piece Of My Heart") as opposed to the many that are listed here. Also, you do get some songs that are not listed here, such as "Taking Care of Him", "What Kind of Girl" and a few others. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up."
The previous reviewer is a wanker
K. Johnson | Brooklyn, NY | 12/18/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Au Pairs are one of the most misunderstood bands of the post-punk era. Ultimately, sensualists instead of politicists, the groups two albums "Sense and Sensuality" and "Playing WIth A Different Gender" are two of the most important albums of the 80's. There's no Fall of Gang of Four mimicry here, and the previous reviewer, who seems to want the "Cliff's Notes" of post-punk, has moronically misunderstood the music. Buy it if you want angular funk, jagged guitar riffs...british nasal whine..."
Warning: Major mastering blunder

"Great music, but the entire second cd has been mastered at the wrong (slower) speed, making the Au Pairs sound like Flipper. The original RPM CD reissue didn't have this problem. For instance:



Instant Touch (this cd): 3:00

Instant Touch (RPM): 2:43



Shakedown (this cd): 4:22

Shakedown (RPM): 4:04



Caveat emptor."
