Music reviews of X-Static [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [EXTRA TRACKS]

Music Review: Classic transitional album
Rating: 5 Stars

It's always blown my mind that H&O reached their creative peak with middle-of-the-road-Muzak-Meister David Foster at the controls. Along the Red Ledge and this album, along with DH's Sacred Songs, form a trilogy of experimental, yet really accessible works that successfully bridge the blue-eyed soul years with the piano-triplet-crazy monster hit-making machine years.

Daryl's always been a really insightful guy: his best songs tend to reflect, but never blindly follow, current and emerging trends. As a result, the finished product is always a little ahead of the curve; the pristine wall of synth sheen that graces "Wait For Me", the new-wavey "Hallofon/Intravino", and how 'bout the rock-disco leviathan that almost single-handedly presaged the DOR (dance-oriented rock) radio format, "Portable Radio"? Every single one of these songs (and extra track b-side) "Time's Up" could have been a huge hit, but for the fact that the boys were just slightly out of fashion at the end of the decade and they were working with that weird Fripp feller (who probably recharged DH's creative batteries more than any other human being he's ever worked with - buy "Exposure", pleeaaase). Fine. All the better for us edgy pop freaks who need something a little obscure to get our swerve on.

This is, hands-down, a desert island disk for the ages. Buy it.
