Yowza! This is the last of the single releases from Brick that I wanted (I do not own Naked and True Stories). I may have saved the best for last (could be a photo phinish with Remain in Light). What makes this release especially impressive for me is that it immediately takes me back to the summer of '83. I had been drinking legally for a few years (just say know, thank you) and was hitting the club scene hard, trying to drink and dance my way through the Reagan years. Nearly every one of these tracks was on solid rotation in the Chicago clubs I frequented. I'm listening to the disc for the first time as I type through this review. It's late at night/early in the morning, which helps take me back to those HEADy daze; even more helpful is the fact that I am flying solo at home, so I'm shaking the windows and walls. The surround mix on this release is a lot of fun and my subwoofer is digging Tina's funky fine bass lines. Although the album is not my favorite TH release, for me it is the most fun--goofy, bouncy, come to take me home--and when poly tricks a la Ronny Reagunzap had helped this kountry to stop making sense (not really true: I hadn't really been comfortable since the spring of '68, but that's a different story for a different site) the polyrhythmic bump and grind of this release eased my mind and synthwashed me clean. Man, this mix really sets the scene, pounding through me--too much fun to keep typing away, so I thank you for your indulgence and continue burning down the house and bouncing my fiery hair in my recliner chair and leave you with a binary pair: 10
