Advantages: Big and Bassy
Disadvantages: the font is awful

...At around 1999, Gary Numan said that he was going to make a series of 'dark' albums and he has delivered on that promise, Sacrifice, Exile, Pure, Jagged. Each album got progressivly darker each time. In many cases, Numan likes to write an album like a story, the first lyrics are "Here is my small black box..." which is a good indication what is going to happen, dark moody bass lines and the drum machine in the background. He has kept elements from previous albums for example, the bit of quiet singing and then plenty of loud harsh rhythm kicking in for a short while. But somehow he has made this album quite a unique sound with the help of Ade Fenton. One slight down side is that nearly every song has a atmospheric intro which, to the new Numan fan amongst you, might like but does makes all the songs sound very familiar to each other...

Advantages: Another version to add to your collection of Rocky Horror memorabilia
Disadvantages: Doesn`t tell you who plays who on here

...This is another soundtrack to Richard O`brien`s cult classic The Rocky Horror Show. This version is from the 1990 play cast. Unfortunately the booklet does not give you all the information needed, if you want to know that who played who in this play. However, I can tell you that Mr Ade Edmonson ( Vyv from The Yong Ones fame ) plays the character Brad Majors in this production. A very unique cast of various actors and actresses adorn this unique version of this well know cult play. Also, you do get actual vocalisation on here. Although after seeing the play many years ago & then seeing the classic movie, I cannot place where some of the vocal snippets have come from. This style of music can be described as 1950`s camp. You will enjoy this version if you have never gone to see the play before in your life. I myself appreciate Richard O... Read review
