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
