Out of all the 80s revival cds I've heard lately, this is the best. Ladyhawke absolutely nails it. She catches that unmistakable 80s sound with guitar, synths and poppy, fun song structures, but manages to make it sound modern and mature. She also has that 80s sounding female voice, and I can think of two examples for comparison: Aimee Mann when she was with 'Til Tuesday. Just think of the song "Voices Carry" and you'll have an idea. And also Kim Wilde with the song "Kids in America".

Every song is good. It's all so catchy, with melodies and choruses so expertly crafted and infectious it's impossible not to bounce around while listening. If you grew up in the 80s and miss the sound of the era, this cd is perfect.

It's hard to pick favorite songs but here's a few stand outs:

- My Delirium: An outrageously catchy chorus. It's impossible not to

sing along.

- Love Don't Live Here: Cool bass line leads to a beautiful chorus. She

does some of her nicest singing in this one.

- Back of the Van: A very nice Stevie Nicks homage.

- Crazy World: gorgeous song

Pip Brown (Ladyhawke) writes her own music and plays instruments. She has actual talent and this is pop music I can support, unlike the shallow, uninspired stuff big American media pushes on us. She's from New Zealand and I doubt this will make too much noise in America, but I'm glad I found it.

First of all, the music here is GREAT, and I am adding Ladyhawke to my "watch list" for new music. I'm not going to say much more about the music itself other than "My Delirium" and "Crazy World" are my favorite tracks.

Unfortunately, the MP3 version of this album as sold by Amazon is terribly produced; sounding more like a capture from a bad internet radio station than quality Mp3's. The highs are muddy as pond water, and the bass is often clipped and distorted. It's a sad thing to hear good music sound so bad.

This album is good from beginning to end. The sound is heavily synth. If you like 80's synth music, buy this album.

must say, Delirium is one awesome song! first heard it from Dirt 2 for the XBOX 360.

Yes, it's another synth-heavy new wave retro 80's throwback album. What's different this time? There are good songs here!

Especially of note are "Magic" with its sickeningly infectious chorus, "Manipulating Woman" which has some refreshingly dissonant vocal harmonies...more than we're usually used to in pop music at least, and, of course, "Paris is Burning" which has every necessary component for an epic pop song.

Well done, Ladyhawke, I look forward to hearing more from you.
