Yesterday I came across a very positive review of Wonderful. It was in a magazine produced by a record selling company (Plato) in Holland. The review I previously posted (from music magazine Oor) wasn't that good, but this one really great. Madness - Wonderful The seven-headed Madness brigade is com-ple-te-ly back! As if they were never away. As if they never released a record called The Madness and as if Suggs didn't make two average records. As if time stood still and we're still in the eighties. As if, .... Alright, I got a little bit carried away. I will leave all the collected superlatives in my mind and I will try to review this record in an objective kind of way. But that'll be difficult: Wonderful is absolutely WONDERFULL! I don't care where the boys got there inspiration and power. Together with Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley, who also produced there "big" albums, they recorded eleven beautiful songs and some b-sides appearing on various singles. After the first note of Lovestruck I was completely overtaken by there sound. After the second single Johnny The Horse the old fashioned ska of The Communicator sounds in my ears. After that the typical Madness Classic 4AM. Later on we meet Ian Dury who joins the boys in Drip Fed Fred. Other favourites are Elysium and Saturdaynight Sundaymorning. I think I'd better stop, the message is clear. I will save all the other superlatives for the release of The Lot. You are warned! Obviously the writer doesn't know everything about Madness (The Madness from Madness?, 4AM a Madness classic?) but the review is lovely and hopefully they'll sell some more cd's in Holland. All the best for now, Henkjan - ______________________________________________________________ Visit the Total Madness Mailing List website for: latest news, madmeet info, list charter, games, and more ... http://members.xoom.com/totalmadmail/ Contact the TMML Moderators at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] and in the message body put: unsubscribe total-madness
