Music reviews of Candy Floss and Medicine
Music Review: A subtle masterpiece...
Rating: 5 Stars
This is probably Eddi's best solo album!
But if you like 'loud', corny country stuff better avoid it.
It's intended for listeners with open ears to every detail and whisper.
The big-orchestra subtle touches are a huge plus!
My favorite tracks are ''Candyfloss'', ''Medicine'', ''Lazy Heart'' and ''Semi Precious''.
*** The original UK version had the amazing cover of ''Town Without Pity'' in it, which was the first single.
But later they pulled it off for the US market. Instead they added 3 B'sides from the UK singles of this album - ''If You Got A Minute, Baby'', ''Shall I Be Mother?'' and ''Sugar On The Pill''. Since Eddi's singles are very hard to find, it's great to get these 3 songs here.
Music Review: I Love Eddi, But this CD is Terrible
Rating: 1 Stars
I am someone who loved Fairground Attraction, then about a year ago, rediscovered her with the Burns tribute CD and the classic "Peacetime." This explains why I then assumed that Eddi was always great, and all I had to do was to rebuy all the CD's in the interim to find similar greatness. If you are like me, please beware: because, incredibly, Eddi's solo CD's--at least the ones I've since purchased are surprisingly bad. Take this CD--not literally, you'll want to return it if you do. My gosh, it's dull. boring. I had mistakenly called "Miramama" her worst CD. Now, upon hearing this one, I'm not sure. Maybe this one is worse. In fact, I racked my brain trying to think of a worse solo CD by the lead singer of a great group, and was stumped...until I thought of "Looking Back With Love" by Mike Love of the Beach Boys. That is the one in which he is wearing the Los Angeles' Dodgers cap on the front, and one of the best songs is the reaggae verson of "Over and Over." (yes, the Dave Clark V song). Just pause a second and let that thought wash over you--Mike Love, the voice of 'she's real fine, my 409', singing a reagae version of "Over and Over." and that was one of the better songs. Worst? Well, the title song, "Looking Back with Love" is a retrospective history lesson--note the almost Greg-Kihn-worthy pun, about the 60's...(same voice) "and now we're lookin back with love..."
Trust me: I don't know where these folks came from who loved "Candyfloss and Medicine", but this CD is mediocre at best, without even one great song.
Music Review: Try it again
Rating: 3 Stars
After reading the rave reviews of this album, I'm going to have to go back and give it another try. What I heard from several listens was pleasant, yes, but wholly unremarkable. But this is coming from someone who thought that Fairground Attraction was "nice".Music Review: Oh, yes.....
Rating: 4 Stars
This CD should be played very loudly and very often while spreading musc over your naked body lying on the floor of a room full of candles. So I've heard. by the time track five arrives you feel yourself falling irresistibly in love. By track six you are standing on the table like 'Cyote Ugly', with your shirt off, swinging it wildly in the air. From then on, everything else is post-coital, but very pleasant. I am on my knees as instructed, Madam. Please have my babies, Eddi. I can't stand their noise anymore.Music Review: All I can say is WOW.
Rating: 5 Stars
I just picked this up from Amazon.com after nearly disintegrating my Fairground Attraction CD from repeated play. All I can say is WOW...what an amazing recording. Eddi Reader clearly has one of the most remarkable voices I've ever heard...every song is like a lover's embrace, every phrase like a soft breeze that wraps you in its gentle touch. Whew...Buy it now. Now. NOW!
