Music reviews of One Step Beyond
Music Review: One Step Beyond....
Rating: 5 Stars
When I first heard this album, I was mostly interested in music that was unforgivingly caustic just for the sake of throwing two fingers to the world. I didn't know nothin' 'bout no ska. But I was open to new things, and when a friend startled the silence at a house party one evening with a chiding voice declaring, "Hey you! Don't watch that, watch this! This is the heavy-heavy monster sound! The nuttiest sound around!...." (and so on)... all I can remember for sure is that you could've heard a pin drop. Everyone stopped talking, started just staring at the speakers (well, what else would you look at?). When the horns and the skiffle-beat drums kicked in, no one could stand still. Most of the kids at that party probably went on with their lives, got a kick out of 'Our House' when MTV played it ad naseum a few years later, MAYBE associated that song with their introduction to Madness all those years ago. Not me. I had to have this record! I had to have more Madness! So I have purchased 'One Step Beyond...' at least once on vinyl, twice on cassette, and probably 3 times on CD. And it's been worth it every time, but never as worth it as this purchase, the super beefed-up deluxe edition. 'One Step Beyond...' is one of those 'could be a greatest hits' albums, because absolutely every song is pure nirvana. To pick just a few gems out, besides the title track, this has got 'My Girl' and 'Night Boat To Cairo' and 'The Prince' and 'Mummy's Boy' and 'Madness'... 15 tracks in all. Disc one of this incredible set is enhanced with 5 videos (for 4 songs mentioned above plus the uber-brilliant 'Bed And Breakfast Man'). Disc two... well, disc two made me cry a little bit when I first saw the tracklisting. It's got: the complete 1979 John Peel Session from BBC Radio One (the one that was released as a cassette single and a CD-EP at separate times, both selling for obscene amounts of money at import prices, causing me to work a lot of overtime just to buy the same 4 songs in alternate versions!); Spanish and Italian versions of 'One Step Beyond...'; the rare Flexipop ballad version of 'My Girl'; the entire 'Work Rest & Play' EP; 7" and 12" B-sides; and recordings from the band's performance on the 'Dance Craze' TV show! All of this is lovingly packaged in a brilliant fold-out digipak with a thick booklet stuffed full of photos and lyrics and notes on the tracks AND a wonderful essay by 'Trainspotting' author Irvine Welsh. This is truly a buy-or-die album.

Description of One Step Beyond
Digitally remastered and expanded deluxe two CD edition of the 1979 debut album from the British Pop/Ska band containing the original album plus four enhanced videos on Disc One plus a 16 rare non-album tracks and Peel sessions on Disc Two. While One Step Beyond may have been one of the biggest selling albums released during the Ska/2-Tone craze of 1979-1980, the album still sounds fresh and exciting three decades after its original release. There are many Ska influences on the album, but the band dabbles in all sorts of musical genres on One Step Beyond, creating their own unique brand of Pop. 35 tracks. Salvo. 2009.Fuelled by the ska of Prince Buster ("Madness"), and inspired by the insanity of British music, right from the start Madness were a quintessentially English band. Two-tone more by association than fact, they came to the fore at the same time as the Specials, with a ska beat, a pop heart, and a lunatic smile (who else would update "Swan Lake" in such an unorthodox way?). While the title track lives on beyond them, there were plenty of other gems here, including "Night Boat to Cairo" and "My Girl." The Nutty Sound was infectious as measles, but a lot more fun.
