Ghost dance : stop the world
Posted: 13 Jan 2008, 11:20
The "karbon" ghost dance singles always had a special place in my heart,something that their debut album never had. Never bought the album as i had it on tape since the early 90s,was never impressed and finaly lost it somewhere between moving houses. Recently i bought it on cd on ebay.de and listening to it again changed my mind : almost all the songs are excellent even if the polished production dosent do justice to the songs and i miss Gary s raw guitar work
I read again Gary s story on the ghost dance site(which is an excellent reading btw)and i realy believe with the right guy at the production this could have a killer lp.
Anne Marie s vocals especially on "cinder road" are fantastic.
It reminded me a lot of Triffids's:calenture which was released about the same time and by the same company i think(..) Excellent songs that suffer from the "big" production,still a fine record though.
ps: even "celebrate" could have been a winner if the original wasnt one of my favourite tracks ever...
