Nice try, shame about the Producer

"This was MB's (or more likely Warnr Bros.) attempt to "break into" the U.S.
They had to team up with Gloria Estefan's Brother as producer and the result was a mixed bag of forced attmepts to sound like the Miami Sound Machine ("Don't blame it on that girl" comes to mind) and their self produced songs. This works very well with their own stuff ("Say it's not too late", "good times" and the amazing "Wap Bam Boogie").Unfortunately the Estefan Producions are banal and unflattering but are fortunately limited to 3 tracks. Still a strong buy for the rest..."

Four For Effort

"Now I know why this European group sounds much better on their own with regards to producing their albums. This commercialized Miami late 80's club sound attempt to bring MB into the states failed due to the contrived and calculated pop marketing gimmickry of Estefan and company. Overall, both members Mark Reilly and Mark Fischer were able to keep their artistic abilities afloat. In the end Indigo has an all too polished formulaic American pop sound that was saved by both Marks ! Indigo is only a keeper for nostalgic 80's buffs or die hard Bianco import fans..."

"It simply makes you in a good mood. Try putting it on at a party - it has an amazin effect on people. They just start dancing."
