Music reviews of The Power Station (CD & DVD)
Music Review: Unfairly Dismissed
Rating: 5 Stars
This project has been unfairly dissed and dismissed. The musicianship and production are excellent, and the songwriting is also strong, although perhaps not stellar. The two singles (Some Like It Hot and Get It On) are the obvious standouts, but there are also excellent album tracks. "Communication" and "Murderess" both are strong, and the album ends with a beautiful and moving ballad, "Still In Your Heart". The sound of the drums alone is beyond compare, and Robert Palmer's vocal performance is fine throughout.
This is a strong album on its own, no apologies needed, no need to categorize as an "80s album". Just listen without preconceptions and give it a chance. Good music is good music.
Description of The Power Station (CD & DVD)
Few side projects have ever proven so disastrous. When Duran Duran bassist John Taylor and guitarist Andy Taylor formed the Power Station in 1985, it not only toppled their other band's domination over the pop world but cast a dark cocaine and slap-bass cloud over the entire decade that didn't shake off until Miami Vice was cancelled and Nirvana arrived. But that wasn't all. Superstitious types believe that resentful Durannies set a curse on singer Robert Palmer, Chic drummer Tony Thompson and producer Bernard Edwards that eventually sent them all to early graves. Two decades on, all that is swept aside and what remains is the music: Self-indulgent and superficial, yes - and, with just eight songs, in such small portions. But, in retrospect, the Power Station is also unexpectedly forceful and funky, particularly with "Some Like It Hot" and a cover of T. Rex's "Bang A Gong." --Aidin VaziriAlbum-Oriented Rock (AOR) CDs
