Music Reviews of From Croydon to Cuba: An Anthology
Music Review: Half Perfection, Half Bubblegum
Rating: 3 Stars
Because I love Tropical Brainstorm so much, I wanted more of Kirsty MacColl's music. Don't bother with this 2-disk album. Half of this album is most of Tropical Brainstorm, but not all of it. The other half is Kirsty's earliest music, which is bubblegum pop. Very disappointing. I would give the Tropical Brainstorm portion of this album 5 stars, and I would give the other stuff 1 star. That's how I came up with my overall 3-Star rating. But buy Tropical Brainstorm instead. And if you have and love Tropical Brainstorm and want more of Kirsty's flawless, sultry voice, buy something other than this Anthology.Music Review: Witty, urbane, great voice -- and sorely missed...now release her video collection, please...
Rating: 5 Stars
This is a fine compendium of Kirsty's varied and far-reaching albeit tragically short body of work. In chameleonlike fashion she eases from one style to the next, surrounding herself with smart studio help while always maintaining a dinstinctly British style. The only comparison I can make is Dusty Springfield, but she lacked Kirsty's way with lyrics.
Her humor, grace and lovely voice are deeply missed; the only thing I wish this package would include is the yet to be released DVD collection of Maccoll's low/budget high-ceativity videos...
Music Review: Miss her...
Rating: 5 Stars
Great talent...then and now. Never understood whe "He's on the Beach" wasn't a smash hit...one of my alltime favorites...perhaps just ahead of her time. This compilation will satisfy anyone who enjoys fresh music, as it is pretty certain you haven't heard most of this on the radio (if you have, please let me know where you live)...Buy it and enjoy.Music Review: Miss her...

The music is fun and original. Definitely recommend. Fresh, funny, moving and a Latin beat to boot.
