[net.music] NEW MUSIC - What you said!

rdz@ccice5.UUCP (Robert D. Zarcone) (02/04/85)

I appologize for being so late with this summary, but it has been
busy around here.  I will break this down into BUY/DON'T BUY groups.
I have only included albums that got two or more reviews (and there
weren't that many of them!)  I will review the ones I've bought on
my own at the end.

BUY

Unforgetable Fire - U2
Pleasure Dome - Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Speaking in Tounges - Talking Heads
Love Life - Berlin
All Over the Place - The Bangles

DON'T BUY

(Nothing received more than one no vote)

MY PURCHASES

Pleasure Dome:  FANTASTIC!
Heartbeat City: The Cars can lay claim to the title "America's ONLY
mainstream new-wave group".
She's So Unusual: She sure is!  But boy can she sing! (Linda Ronstadt
for the 80's).
Billy Idol's Second Album:  I know that's not the title, but I can't
remember it just now.  I don't like heavy metal but I like this album.
(Tom Jones for the 80's?).
Purple Rain:  They are enjoyable while being professional.  *****
(Sly and the Family Stone for the 80's, or is it James Dean?).
Ice Cream Castles:  VERY disapointing!  Can not recommend.

Pleas keep me informed of anything else out there to latch onto or run
away from.  I will return the favor.
