Maria Schneider Orchestra, Sky Blue
Nashville Tennessean - Like Duke Ellington, Schneider writes compositions designed to showcase the improvisational talents of her musicians. Clarinetist Perry Robinson deftly maneuvers through the shifting irregular meters of “Aires de Lando,” based on Peruvian dance music

Customer Review: it takes time
It takes time to listen to this. I recommend locking yourself away and giving it a couple of goes. But hell is it worth it! There are some eclectic moments, some uplifiting moments and there are some downright odd moments. If nothing else it makes your brain work, it makes you think, and ultimatley it makes you hum these songs for weeks. White no sugar stands out, there are of course other great high spots, live they rock the place ( admittedly small places but whos to argue) Mr Boon is clearly a loon, but long may he continue.
Customer Review: Weird and wonderful, but mostly novelty value…?
If you liked Inspiral Carpets, you may well like this. Clint Boon, keyboad player and writer with the Carpets, has a spookily similar voice to Tom Hingley, complete with crooning style, but seems more at home with strange samples and spaced out lyrics. White with no sugar and Comet Theme No.1 are highlights, and definitely skip the first track (that’s so annoying, isn’t it…?)

12″/80s Pop Customer Review: 12 Inch - Not etirely true
CD ONE Other tracks are 12 inch versions.
First of all this is a big plus
CD ONE 8. Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days (Remix) the 1989 Remix with Feetmoving RAP =).

CD TWO
1. Yazoo - Don’t Go (Remix) Yes the first part 4:05 doesnt include the
re-remix version which is good cause the re-remix version is the somewhat the dub/instrumental part of the two part CD-single of Don’t Go.
2. Bronski Beat - Small Town Boy (Extended Mix) NOT this is the 5 min album version (the extended is 9 min long).
6. Fine Young Cannibals - Johnny Come Home (Extended Mix) Yes it is 12″ version the right one BUT this sounds like it was vinylripped with the crackle sound untouched… hmmm… I thought I bought a CD =P.
9. The Special A.K.A. - Nelson Mandela (Extended Version) NOT extended
and vinyl crackle sound present… *sigh* oh well…
10. Musical Youth - Pass The Dutchie (12″ Mix) THANKS it IS 12″ :).
12. Yazz - The Only Way Is Up (12″ Version) The Original MAXI version.

NOW CD 3 THREE (Are ALL 12″ Versions…. NO here is the list of errors)
There are 12 tracks present.
1. Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra (12″ Mix) WRONG it is SINGLE Version
4. Diana Ross - I’m Coming Out (12″ Mix) There is only an ALBUM Version
11. Kim Wilde - You Keep Me Hanging On (12″ Mix) the 9 min long version
12. Jan Hammer - Miami Vice Theme (Extended Remix) It is NOT the Ben Liebrand remix I think DMC won’t let that one go so easily to the public.

Still the question remains. Was it worth it.
With the few errors it is still worth the money you pay for it with a little reservation for the WRONG information on some tracks info of beeing 12″ mix when in fact they are not 12″ mixes… good thing I have them already… (…)

Customer Review: Not bad, could be better…….
A few good treats on here such as Dance Hall Days, Poison Arrow, Living on the ceiling, and Rip it Up. Not the cream of the crop as 80’s music goes though (in my humble opinion), with so many class tunes from that era surely the creators could have done better than the Miami Vice theme, Yazz and Nik Kershaw to mention a few? Still, its alright to throw on at a party……. :.)
