OUR LOVE IS INSANE

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Malcolm Dome - who wrote the liner notes for this release - misses one VERY important thing. "Our Love Is Insane" was a smash smash smash hit in the NY area. It was #1 on the then 92 KTU station and played in every disco and on every radio station. One could not have their ears perk up at the opening bass line - as recognizeable as Chic's "Good Times" - it brought you in 30 seconds before the song began...and anyone experiencing even a tinge of love, lust, first time longing or romance sustaining power could not be drawn into the music, lyrics and vocals of this recording. A TRUE masterpiece.



The rest of the album is uneven - but very listenable and hardly embarassing as many of that era sound today. Desmond Child is a remarkable talent. "Main Man" he later gave to Cher for her "I Found Someone" album - and she took it most likely to the passionate heights he must have origanally written about - and that is what this album is about - beginnings. Desmond Child is an incredibly canny musical genius - and this is a remarkable beginning.



I hope he has his Main Man and that his love is insane."
