Ya gotta hear this!

Review Score: (10/10)
Grace Jones in her Island records, Nassau days produced some truly great tracks. Badarou, Sly and Robbie, Frantz, et al, in the funky jamaician jam sessions make all the tracks sizzle with new-wave electro-reggae. I am always in awe of Grace's uber-b**ch version of "Demolition Man", and the patois laden original "Feel Up" is "as island as it wansta be". The Bill Withers classic "Use Me" is taken to a literal S&M frenzy as Sly & Robbie goes into rhythmic pyrotechnics. I saw Grace perform "live"--well, she was singing live-- in New Orleans at the world famous Saenger Theatre many moons ago. Needless to say, it was a show I have yet to see an equal to--it was closer to performance art than that of a music concert-- Marlene Dietrich in pre-millenium Crescent City. The audience--New Orleans, remember?--was every bit an integral part of the show. "Nightclubbing" was out then and I remember the partying to "Pull up To the Bumper" and "The Hunter Gets Captured.." Grace may not be everybody's cup of rum, but this CD is what I define as "five star" simply because it's another case of good music done well. Also, discover why Camille Paglia, Helmut Newton, and Eddie Murphy are big fans of the Dietrich from the Islands.
