Sounds as good as ever!

Review Score: (10/10)
With a combination of jazz fusion and funk, World Machine is an album that transcends any fashion of music. It simply defies time and continues to sound as fresh as it did in 1985.

Mark King and Mike Lindup's vocals inter-weave and sound like they were born together, and the rhythm section (featuring King's amazing bass playing) is a whole dimension in itself (try listening to the drum, synth and bass via headphones and isolate it)

The song "Good man in a storm" features one of the coolest sax solo's i've heard and if you want just some flat out, steady funk, "Coup de etat" always works for me.

If you can get your hands on it, try and get the UK version of this album. (the songs I mentioned above only appear in this version) The North American release does not measure up, although "Hot Water" is a good song. (I happen to own both versions and my review applies mostly to the UK version)

The UK version also includes the song "Dream Crazy" a much better alternative to "The chant has begun" on the No. American version.
