There is a sense of Tom Tom Club repeating themselves, but then again, it's a formula that they created: a trio of female singers over bouncy reggae and hip-hop-inspired beats, with a dash of Talking Heads' art-school sensibilities. Pleasure of Love" rides the coattails of "Genius of Love," perked up with Wally Badarou's swirling keyboards.

Talk about Tom Tom Club - Close To The Bone


Best West
Very underrated gem that lately received a humiliating treatment as being a "bonus material" for their first album. It's as fun as anything they've recorded before and still sounds fresh(-ly squeezed) !
Windforge
Hard to believe this album NEVER got a CD release until 2009! Unbelievable! Nice to finally have it on this comp, including the 12" mixes.Could do without the Yella track though. It's pretty bad. The instrumental would have been a better inclusion. (but on the first cd)
