This is an immaculate 80s artifact if there ever was one... The singles, particularly Absolute and Wood Beez are amazingly constructed layers of sugar that blow away the most jaded ear. One reservation: I downloaded a bunch of these tracks to complete the album and noticed the Emusic versions were less pristine that the others I already owned. If any record demands a Remastered version here, it's this one.
First heard in 84 my junior year in high school; perfect production, melodies, hooks--same rush I got first time I ever heard it 26 years later. Favorite album of all time without a doubt.
i played my cassette of this album to death!!! always loved....the perfect way.....wood beez.....the word girl....excellent album.....
let this one sink in for a while--this music has some of the maximum possible hooks allowed anywhere! you could get lost in "perfect way," "lover to fall," "absolute," "wood beez"... heck, just about all of them. the guy was on fire right here.
You cannot get a feel for how well produced this music is in these clips. This is a great download. I have been hoping they would get it here at emusic and they finally did. Give it a few listens as like many great songs do these will grow on you the more you hear them. I recommend downloading the first 9 tracks and maybe even the last three that are remixes.
Track 12 would've been marked as a remix of Wood Beez. Oh well...guess that what I get for being a "singles" guy. I'm still jamming.
