Are my ears deceiving me or is this this the strongest Sade album out there? A true beauty all the way through and a gentle must... Seriously one of my favourite pop records of all times. Maybe it's the Compass Point Studio magic!?!

Style: Ambient / New Age

Format: LP
Label: Marlboro

Year: 1989

Condition: NM/VG+

What the hell did the people at Marlboro (yes the stupid cowboy ciggies) think when they teamed up with Virgin to establish a label and sign someone so gentle and esoteric like Andreas von Wangenheim? Change the whole cowboy image by releasing New Age music??

Whatever they thought - it's just fantastic that they released these wonderful songs. Calling it "all killer, no filler" doesn't really fit the New Age vibe, huh? But hey it's Marlboro :)  and it's shotgun recommended! And you might recognize one of the key tracks from my Dezember mix for testpressing from a few years ago.

The names on the cover are quite small so I will repeat (also to reassure me that it's not a dream): Lydia Theremin & Misha Mahlin, Brian Eno, Laraaji, Daniel Lanois, Harold Budd, Roger Eno, Michael Brook and John Paul Jones. Expect lots of blissful soundscapes, deep experimentation AND the almighty Tension Block.

Where there's will, there's a way.

Dancing For Mental Health is a humorous conceptual album or, if you want, a guide to enhance your mental health by dancing. Will Powers a.k.a Lynn Goldsmith recorded some positive and danceable tunes with the help of Todd Rundgren. It's fun to listen to and at the same it gives you time to think about yourself. What do you want more?

When I first saw this record I bought it by chance. "Trilok Gurtu on percussion - it can't be that bad". It's actually VERY nice and still one of my favourite records. Not a rarity, but one of those records that should have a place in everybody's record collection.

If it were for Prince the record would be beatless (á la Whispering Dandelions). Since Warner wasn't with that the master dropped out of production. Now you would think that the outcome might be poor... haha it isn't. It's in fact a masterpiece in my books! And it has been a longtime dream of mine to listen to the record how Prince had imagined it. Some dreams stay dreams. This album is one! Try to find it on LP...
