The end of the '80's
The Glider | Birmingham,England UK | 05/11/2001
(3 out of 5 stars)

"Well,the 1980's came to an end in 1989.And this was the music that was going about at the time.Kylie Minogue sort of spawned a generation of the all looks-no actual talent former soap stars,who,having appeared in soaps ,automatically think they have what it takes to sing.Hand On Your Heart went and became a corny classic,and there's also the equally corny but not so classic Americanos by Holly Johnson.Just over a decade after Heart of Glass was released ,Blondie lead vocalist Debbie Harry released the engrossing I Want That Man,and,hailing originally from the '50's,Tina Turner belts out Simply The Best.This compilation also features De La Soul's haunting Eye Know,and the captivating dance rhythm Lambada by Kaoma.Other highlights include Phil Collins' outstanding Another Day In Paradise and attitude filled 'homegirl' Neneh Cherry's Manchild,not forgetting Inner City's sweeping dance floor anthem Good Life and Paula Abdul's incredibly funky Straight Up.The downpoint being the dreadful Fine Young Cannibals with their appalling She Drives Me Crazy."
GREAT STYLISTIC VARIETY

"This compilation from 1989 includes quite a number of artists from earlier eras or those who were already well established at the time, like Phil Collins, Mike And The Mechanics, Cher, Tina Turner, U2, Dusty Springfield, Debbie Harry, Roy Orbison, Status Quo and Simple Minds. Relatively new ones include Electronic, Technotronic, The Stone Roses and Kaoma. My personal favourites from this year include Kirsty MacColl's beautiful rendition of (Thank You For The) Days, Neneh Cherry's Manchild, The Stone Roses' Fool's Gold and Technotronic's Pump Up The Jam, a blistering dance track. The following are considered classics: The Living Years by Mike And The Mechanics, When Love Comes To Town by U2 and BB King, Americanos by Holly Johnson and of course, the massive hit Lambada by Kaoma. The variety of styles here includes rock (INXS, Mechanics, U2), folk (Kirsty MacColl), soul (Soul II Soul), dance (Technotronic, Paula Abdul, Kaoma), and pop (Cher, Debbie Harry). This album is perfect for a late 80s nostalgia party!"
