5 out of 5 stars Heavenly.......2006-08-10

Sweet god, what a great record. The music and the way it was recorded in the studio is just AMAZING. Love and Rockets here give us one of the most solid records I've heard from the 1980's. The songs are fresh sounding solid rock (injected with a sense of grandeur and not a trace of sugar coated fakeness - yet it has huge mainstream appeal they play L&R on the radio a lot), you could tell it was a new direction for Daniel Ash & Co. Just a fantastic record from the 80's amazing blend of rock, synthesizer, drums and good lyrics! Take a dash of Beatles, throw in some Jesus & Mary Chain, some Bluesy Rock, Dylan and finally a nice thick layer of gothic roots - then you have Love and Rockets.

"Live a life you love, use the God you trust and don't take it all too seriously."

This is the repackaged edition - the whole album is remixed and sounds perfect also the album art is different. Included is a little booklet about the band's origin.

5 out of 5 stars better than best.......2006-07-10

this albumn has been compared to abbey road. that's generous, but not excedingly. it is my favorite record from the 80's. highly recommend purchasing this issue. has singles and mixes and stuff. good great better than best.

5 out of 5 stars The Classic L&R release. Done right.......2006-02-28

When this record first arrived, I was hooked. I was already a big Tones On Tail fan and the Ball Of Confusion 12" had me ready for the LP. I thought I knew what to expect. Boy, was I mistaken. This album far exceeds any expectation I could have ever had. A true 80's psychedelic masterpiece. The only problem? The CD reissues never were the same version as the album. Several different mixes on different releases, always diluting the stew. Until now. Here it is the original mix, in the original running order AND all of the various mixes (well, most of them due to time constraints) and B-sides too!
As Jack Kirby once said:"Don't ask, just buy!"

5 out of 5 stars 7th DREAM a triumph - trippy, pretty, intensely gorgeous!.......2004-04-29

Someone in the Love and Rockets camp has a habit of fine-tuning their albums and adding new songs after the initial album release date. This is cheating, but no matter. I've fine tuned my own version of what the album should sound like. At least this current release has the original line-up of songs, followed by the bonus material. The following is MY running order for the album:

"If There's A Heaven Above" - "Throw the world off your shoulders tonight Mr. Smith . . ." This joyously hopeful song dives right into the main themes of the album, namely - youth, the mystery of religion, the nature of human existence and the progression of time. *****

"A Private Future" - Starts off as a pretty, idyllic song that progresses into a more ominous exploration of religious beliefs. Culminates in the line "Live the life you love/ Use a god you trust/ And don't take it all too seriously" which instantly brings their sermonizing back down to earth. ****

("Snuff out the ") -- "Dog-end Of A Day Gone By" - A steady rock workout drenched in omnipresent guitars, organ and rumbling drums. ****

"The Game" - This one sounds like being caught in some Twilight Zone timewarp. Ticks along at a deliberate pace like a clock that intensifies as the song progresses. ****1/2

"Inside The Outside" - This one's a cool rocker. Dominated by drums that tumble all over the place and tortured single-note shreds of fury on guitar. ****

"God And Mr. Smith" - a wigged-out remix of "If There's A Heaven Above" sans words. Strange Middle Eastern vocal distortions and other effects swirl around to trippy effect. *****

"Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven" - The word "hypnotic" gets thrown around a lot, but this song definitely qualifies for that description. Like entering an alternate reality. Intense - especially at one particular point in the middle! *****

"Haunted When The Minutes Drag" - Also hypnotic and intense, but in a much different way. This is a great guitar-driven song featuring more of the terrific electronic percussion found all over this album. *****

"Saudade" - gorgeous acoustic guitar displaying an expert combination of picking and strumming (an L&R trademark) as a spacey drum gently knocks away. Builds to a gentle yet sweeping climax. A beauty! *****

To me "Ball Of Confusion" belongs on < > where it originally appeared (in album form at least) and I prefer the extended version because it's awesome and worth hearing as much of it as possible. I haven't heard all the other mixes included on this CD, so I'll probably break down and get it at some point.

4 out of 5 stars Great Debut? by a Great Band.......2004-02-13

Well it isn't really a debut, it's just the first one under the L&R name. The sound on this album didn't change that much from Tones on Tail or Bauhaus.

Anyway this really is a great album with lots of good stuff. "Dog End of a Day Gone By", "If There's a Heaven Above" and "God and Mr. Smith" are all excellent downbeat pop songs. "The Game" is more dark and strange, feeling like it could have come straight from a Bauhaus session; you can hear this song's main hook sampled on Snog's "Reigning Terror". "Saudade" is a wonderful instrumental piece. "Private Future" is excellent as well.

There is a slight issue though... the album is very slow overall. With the exception of the up-tempo "Inside the Outisde" the entire CD runs at about the same pace. (Note: "Ball of Confusion" is faster too, but it wasn't on this album originally and I don't know why it's here now - it was released with "Express"). I love the album but I think this lack of differentiation hurts the way the album is remembered and maybe even is part of the reason this band's legacy is not a powerful as it deserves to be. My guess is that had these great songs been sprinkled in throughout the L&R collection, placed side-by-side with the upbeat, catchy songs that not only would these songs be more remembered but the band as well. Hey, maybe that's why they threw "Ball of Confusion" in - still not appropriate to revise history like that.

Love and Rockets ought to be in the pantheon of great 80's/alternative/post-punk (pick your cliche) bands with the likes of The Cure, The Smiths or whomever. For some reason they are overlooked a bit.

      5 out of 5 stars Truly Fantastic.......1999-09-26

      Sliced and diced tapes that have been reassembled such that they do create cohesive, fluid songs. Really a masterpiece and a must-have for fans of Neu and Can. I say that because they play with the same principals, though the tunes are obviously influenced by a bit of everything that has happened since those bands. This is a hell of a lot better and more fun that recent Stereolab offerings. Much of this takes place backwards, which is always enjoyable - particularly when the vocals are cut and pasted backwards. This isn't anything new, but those of you who know what you like and know what you're looking for will find this to be just the right balm to assuage that itch. There are ethereal elements, but this actually rocks for the most part - it doesn't gaze at the shoes for too long at a stretch! This and Rocket Charms are both highly recommended - keep away from the abysmal second record!

          i listened to this album for the first time when i was a teenager--my friends and i were out late clubbing and trying to unwind, this is the album i would play to close my eyes, to set my soul at ease, and my heart on fire as i drifted off--after ten years i still enjoy this album as much as i did the first time i listened to it--i recommend this album to anyone who likes music combining synth, cosmic sampling and a good douse of classic bauhaus/love and rockets mastery. enjoy!
