Living Colour's exceptional debut is strong all the way through; there simply isn't any weak material on this album. Generally classified as hard rock, Vivid also contains touches of funk and even jazz, which keeps things interesting. Living Colour were also one of the few bands to succeed in writing socio-politically conscious songs that never sound preachy; they take on politicians ("Cult of Personality"), slumlords ("Open Letter (To a Landlord)"), modern life ("Desperate People" and "Glamour Boys"), and the gap between rich and poor in America ("Which Way to America?"). Outstanding music, skilled lyric-writing, and Corey Glover's strong singing make these songs entertaining and thought-provoking at the same time, something most bands never manage to do. -- Genevieve Williams

Birthing black consciousness through funk and rock.......2005-11-12

Living Colour may very well be the defining band from my youth. Growing up in vanilla suburbia, this was a band that charted songs that made an impact in my school's music scene. "Glamour Boys" was the single that made it to my high school and the bass player from a band I was in covered it. That led me and others to pick up the album. "Vivid" is one of the most successful fusions of rock with political consciousness in history, and may be the best poltically conscious album by a black or post '70s band. All the musicians are virtuosos, the songwriting is strong, and rock fans see a cathartic band at work.

Looking back, there are a few things that strike me as revealing about *how* Living Colour approached making rock music from a politically black consciousness.

Living Colour embraced sampling. "Cult of Personality"'s use of samples is a creative device that hammers home the message of the song. It begins with a sample of Malcolm X and uses soundbites from Kennedy and FDR. The restricted use of samples is something that hurts Living Colour on their recent comeback work, much like De La Soul was hampered creatively after sampling was greatly restricted.

Secondly, Living Colour was not afraid to include to make some bridges to black america in their work. In a lot of ways, they came towards Public Enemy from the opposite direction. "Funny Vibe" includes a brief cameo from Chuck D and Flavor Flav or Public Enemy. Why did Public Enemy collaborate with Anthrax instead of Living Colour? Ego? Artistic differences? Desire to crossover and broaden markets? Don't know why, but I think it's a tragedy for both groups.

Lastly, many people forget how Living Colour could have been a killer funk band if they had wanted to. This is more explicit on tracks like "Elvis is Dead" on the next album, "Time's Up", but it's present on "Vivid" with tracks like "Funny Vibe" and "What's your Favorite Colour?"

Living Colour was an outstanding band that set the table for me to really examine my history and develop a far more culturally grounded agenda as a musician and an intellectual. I owe them big time for the way they went about their music. I hope more people will discover their music through their currently active reunion work.

5+ stars

Saw them play last night - still amazing.......2005-09-14

I literally wore out this cassette and have nearly worn out the CD. Every musician in this band is phenomenal and their particular mix of soul and hard rock was really a breakthrough when they came out and hasn't been done as well by anyone else. These guys had bottles thrown at them when opening for the Stones in arenas and not because they were playing too loud - who says mainstream music can't be radical?

They shredded El Corazon in Seattle last night - what a great show. So glad they are back :)

Some great songs.......2005-02-27

I fast forward thru this album between 'Cult of Personality' and 'Open Letter (To a Landlord)'. I do not care for most of the songs on this album, sorry, but the superior songs on this album are among the best of the 80's. 'Open Letter' is special, I play it when I play the music I really love, and I don't play music much.

Another classic from the summer of 1988.......2004-02-24

When I heard of Living Colour it was the fall of 1987 when i read an article of the Black Rock Coalition and was looking foward to the release of their first album, in May of 1988 I bought Vivid expect your typical heavy metal album but with a black twist. Nothing ever prepared me for the sonic assault on my musical senses. From corey glover's soulful singing to a rythum section that actually sounded like a one in heavy rock music from Muzz Skillings and Will Calhoun and the Jazzy yet heavy as heck soloing from the best guitar player of the past 20 years Vernon Reid.I told all my friends from metalheads to soulsters to get this album, from the Zep-like riffs to the ornette coleman like soloing from Reid on "Cult of Personality" to the Bad Brains/AC/DC like thrash of "Desprate People" to the country blues hip-hop of "Broken Hearts" and the socca-rock riffage of "Glamour Boys " the lyrics make you think without being preachy and this is the band I thought (and still think)this band as the true heirs to the Led Zeppelin heavy metal mantle diverse music like they played and musicianship that is top-notch. get this album now.

Awesome (and 5 stars isn't enough for this....).......2007-06-07

First time I heard about these guys is when I was in High School. When I heard "Cult of Personality", goosebumps started to appear on my skin. Oh boy, such a beautiful and powerful album! Corey's high pitch and melodious voice did an outstanding chemistry with Vernon's fast-finger riffs and solos (I heard one time Eddie Van Halen can't sleep after listening to this)... To all, if you want something melodious but powerful, i strongly recommend that you guys buy this album!

Oh yeah, Mick Jagger did a good job discovering these guys! Rakenrol!!

Great start from a great band.......2007-05-17

This album really rocks. It features genres like r'n'b, funk, rock and heavy metal combined in unique style. No further comment needed.

Classic album, but poor remaster.......2007-03-08

I think this is a great album. I already had the original and bought the remaster hoping to have the sound spruced up a bit. However, it sounds worse than the original. The bass is muddy and overbearing, the highs sound muffled, and its got to be by far the loudest CD I now own. If you have the original, stay with it. If not, then I suggest you find one.

Remastered...and edited. FYI.......2006-11-01

I have an original 1988 CBS Records version of this disc, manufactured by EPIC Records. It's a great album that I consider a "Classic". When I saw that a remastered version was being offered, with bonus tracks, I decided to pick it up. I appreciate the upgraded sound quality. The lower end is greatly enhanced. Now you can easily hear just how well Muzz Skillings was playing those great, funky bass-lines.

Just to let everybody know, the song What's Your Favorite Color? (Theme Song) has been chopped on the remastered version down to about 1:44. The first time I listened to it, I thought my cd player had skipped to the next track prematurely! The original version was 3:55 and contained twice the lyrics plus another bridge. So... if you buy the remaster, don't get rid of that old copy before you decide to keep it for that one older "full-length" track.

one of the great bands.......2006-10-19

Apart from one of the most recognisable rock songs of the 80's 'Cult of Personality' this album is something which set the pace for a whole generation of clear singers over the top of a harder rock background which has now become a normal type of music. They rock hard, play incredibly well - lead guitarist is a freak, and the singing is soulful, powerful but clear and accessible.

It has dated I think to an extent - for me because of their 3rd album 'Stain' which really sounded a generation beyond what they did on this one (and still what many do now) however it stands as a terrific rock album.

Best tracks aside from Cult are 'Open Letter to a Landlord' - which is every bit the classic of Cult really 'Desperate People' and 'Memories can't wait' but the whole lot is well balanced.

Bonus tracks on this are all fantastic - Living Colour live is as good as it gets, but there is one track: 'should i stay or should i go' which has to be one of the all time great covers - it's so redone that apart from the lyrics and structure you would not recognise it and they really rock it out- almost worth it for that alone!

Here's What I Say .......2005-12-20

I love the underdog, the underappreciated and the underplayed artists, primarily from the 70's.Thats why I like to write these reviews, to keep their music alive. Norman "Hurricane" Smith is one of those artists. He was a producer with his name on Pink Floyd and Beatle albums. His biggest hit musically of course was "Oh Babe, What Would You Say", the almost vaudvillian vocals reminiscent of "Winchester Cathedral". This is a good album, you just have to familiarize yourself with the tunes to appreciate it. The first step is to have samples available. The next is to add it to your collection. Enjoy.

Amazon.com

Michael Lington's ironic inclusion of a Randy Crawford vocal version of Burt Bacharach's "Message to Michael" on the saxman's debut offers an open invitation for smooth-jazz fans to tell him what we think. The message we send might begin positively: it's a tough gig to compete with Boney James, Warren Hill, and Dave Koz, so it's a great idea to enhance your intensely soaring, doubled-sax melody on "Twice in a Lifetime" with Tony Guerrero's gently drifting flugelhorn. It's also a sharp call to take a torchy harmony role behind Brad Cole's dark-toned keyboard melody over the pitter-patter percussion on "P.J. (Pamela Jean)." Oh, and balancing more pedestrian funk jams, like "Too Good to Be True," with the much more intoxicating Brazilian rhythms of "Por Do Sol (Sunset)" helps keep our interest. On that tune, Lington's edgy alto weaves in and out of jittery acoustic guitar lines in a perfect blend of pop balladry and exotica. It's a mixed bag here, otherwise--an easygoing but unremarkable take on the R&B classic "Love Won't Let Me Wait," a Kenny G-like soprano line finding a few sparkling moments between the verses of the pretty vocal ballad "Everlasting Love." Lington approaches the power balladry of Warren Hill on one of the best genre ballads in a long time, "Sarai." Overall, the message is that while Lington makes for a powerful, very likable, and sometimes imaginative new voice on the scene, he's not yet offering enough uniqueness to rise high amid the veterans. Let's hope he takes the message to heart and develops the great potential already in evidence. --Jonathan Widran

If you like Smooth Jazz, then try this album. Michael plays his saxophon as usual masterfully. The tunes are smooth and without edges, just radiolike. Randy Crawford gives some highlights to this wonderful album.

The album tells the story. This album touches peoples lives in some way or another and you'd think the songs were about you. The truth and the emotions set forth in this album are very inspirational. To this day have not come across an artist that can master the art of sincerity and emotions such as Jim Photoglo that can carry the song as if he had written it for me, and the circumstances that evolved. it's mystical.

Hearts of Stone have just gotta b the unluckiest soul group EVER. This album, particularly my outstanding track IF I CUD GIVE U THE WORLD, is a slab of the finest soul - 35 years on and STILL sounds superb. They got caught up in the move of Motown from Detroit 2 LA and .... the rest is history.
Don't know anything else 'bout them, whether they folded or not or reformed.
Sometimes an album just blows you away and this is 1 of them! OK so all the tracks aren't original material but what the heck - soooooo soulful and a major disaster that they didn't make it big, very big indeed. Can't praise it enuf.

who were these guys? Absolutely Wonderful Music........2006-08-07

I somehow acquired this album back in '90 or '91 on cassette. At the time, I'd never heard of the band, nor do I remember how it came about that I shelled out for it. Perhaps I was intrigued by the album title. At any rate I am so glad I did as it quickly became one of my favorite albums.

Somewhere along the way the tape got lost and it has been years since I've heard this. I recall listening to this a lot around the time my wife and I first met and fell in love.

The other reviewers here are right on the money about this album: it is haunting and faintly psychedelic in a sort of 1990s way. It is worth tracking down, and that is what I am doing right now.

Just listen to the song 'Lightning'. If you're a fan of New Order or the Cure or Jesus Mary Chain you will love these guys. Fantastic stuff.

You will love this CD.

How this was overlooked by pop culture, seems strange........2006-05-25

This album was enlightening to me when I was first exposed in the early 90's. It has been a go-to for me ever since. Just yesterday I listened to it again and decided to see what the state of UVS was, if the album/cd was still out there and found the reviews here on Amazon.

If you are waffling on this cd, I encourage you to take the chance and discover some of the most incredible compilations. The production lends itself to a Sunday morning, sun streaming in as you enjoy breakfast and your favorite paper. You'll leave the house smiling, and catchy lyrics in your head, and wondering to yourself "how did this slip by the masses and miss being played?"

Enjoy!

Novocaine daydreams.......2006-01-16

UVS is Kurt Ralske's relatively brief adventure into rock n roll. Ralske was educated at the Berklee School of Music in Boston, which is hardly your typical rock star spawning grounds.

Since doing 3 or 4 albums as UVS, Ralske has gone on to doing some electronic ambient stuff, working with films, producing other bands, and even has a permanent exhibit at MOMA in New York.

Maybe the best way to describe UVS is post 60s, pre Beck psychedelia. Other than Robyn Hitchcock, nobody comes immediately to mind who was doing psychedelic pop like this in the late 80s and early 90s, at least not as succinctly as UVS.

If I remember correctly, Ralske plays just about all the instruments on this album, a remarkable feat in itself. The subject matter with this and later UVS records seems to revolve mostly around sex, guilty pleasure (the title to one of the songs), drugs (the self titled album even has a syringe on the cover), and death. You might think this sounds depressing, but this album actually doesn't come across negative, but instead has a numbing psychedelic aftertaste if that makes any sense.

The overall effect is a detached novocaine feel. I gather it's out of print now, but a great CD if you can get ahold of it.

Very good band.......2003-08-09

Very high-quality music. Kindest cut is absolutely my most favorite song.

A special find.......2003-02-09

I don't know how wonderful albums like this go out of print, but it's well worth looking for used. Not quite as good as the UVS self titled, but better than "Rev", this is a great record with that early alternative sound to it. A few upbeat tracks including "Special one" with Kim Deal from the Pixies, but most of it is mellow. Similiar to early Cure or New Order, but most like Velvet Underground to my ears. UVS is one of those secret bands that nobody knows, but everybody likes, and I have probably played every month since 1990.

...but since I can't seem to find that review online, I thought I'd just mention that this is INDEED the finest of the HMR discs; Weber isn't as present as fans of his might like, but it's still a great deal of fun, and Stampfel (joined by Luke Faust and Robin Remailly) is in peak form. The Japanese gatefold LP-style cover is quite attractive, replicating the original, for the most part; unfortunately, the liner notes for the original LP (mostly softcore hippie porn written by Stampfel and Antonia, and Stampfel's musings on the history of the band) have been replaced with a Japanese translation -- but, well, we can't have everything. Amusingly, on the spine of my copy of this, the Japanese label, Vivid, have actually MISSPELLED "Alleged" -- they have it as ALLENGED IN THEIR OWNTIME, which I guess is pretty close. These Japanese reissues don't last forever, and some of them are rare enough to fetch hundreds on auction sites (and that's for albums that are otherwise in print and readily available, like CSNY's DEJA VU). Fans should get this while they can, or risk feeling obliged to kick themselves later...

Werewolfly Weird, Wired, and Wonderful.......2002-04-06

I'm hoping Amazon actually does have this CD, as they're not that easy to locate. Of the many most wonderful HMR discs, this is one of the best IMHO. Random Canyon, Shoot That Turkey Buzzard (with beautifully deranged additional verses inserted with the old-timey ones), and Voodoo Queen Marie are simply phenomenal. I mean, where else can you find lines like, "In my mislocated mesa, with my counterfeit contessa, who's the secretary to the local grange?"

This is a splendid album - my favorite of all their work. It is a perfect blend between old-time folk and acid rock, with new lyrics that are at times poignant at times beautifully weird. , and always truer than life itself. This is the album to start off on (It has been my favorite album since I was 5)

"Here We Go Again........" .......2005-12-15

As Archie Bell & The Drells once sang! Another quality Philly soul lp that didn't make the (national attention) squad at time of "try-outs". Nevertheless, with "Look At All The Lonely People" leading the way, another quality album a music company in a foreign land has had the insight and wherewithal to get on disc, now availible to all, that no U.S. music company has, prior to now. Know the former Temptation in the group? For sweet soul/soul collectors familiar with the known, many excellent "not well known" reissue lps finally arriving to market.
