Search on GEMM | | | It might seem as if I'm being morbid, but I really wanted to hear this. She died last year (was run over by a boat or something), and I was pretty sad about it. One of my first records was Kirsty's rendition of Billy Bragg's 'A new England'. After that I found that she was a very handy popstar to be into - I was eleven years old, and was able to afford her records because they were normally reduced to 20 or 30p in WH Smith... I remember being very young and listening to 'He's on the beach' and 'Terry'. They were cool records. Anyway, 'tropical brainstorm' sounds nice enough. It's very smoothly produced with a kind of radio-friendly electronic-cuban pop hybrid thing going on. Kirsty still maintains her sardonic, detached vocals, but a lot has changed since the singles of the mid 80s. There is a lot of humor on the album - one song is about cybersex with an anonymous Dutchman. All in all, a weird purchase - I wouldn't have bought this if she hadn't died; I probably won't listen to it much; yet I'm enjoying listening to it... hmm.... | Kirsty MacColl recommendations at Musical Taste
