At last, the good version of Ball of Confusion!

"While different in terms of song order compared to the original US version of this CD, the real bonus here is the US mix of "Ball of Confusion". It is the version that used to be played in clubs, and is basically the definitive version of the song. The 7 minute version on the original US CD was basically the SHORT version of the song which is then looped in an instrumental take. IT was very annoying. this 6 minute US version is actually the EXTENDED version, so it flows so much better.



The real challenge is getting used to the song order for owners of the original CD---but that's the glory of programming."

"I had this on vinyl, then on cassette, and I just recently got it on CD. It's one of those albums that never gets old to listen to. "Love Me" is very catchy and ethereal, very Daniel Ash. The bonus track of "Holiday on the Moon" ends up stuck in my head for days. And I must say that there's not much if anything bad to say at all about this album. It has a very classic Love and Rockets sound, before they got more influenced by techno (as in Lift). Although it was recorded in the Eighties, the sound was way before its time, and could very well pass for something done closer to the millennium. Definitely something you won't be disappointed in."
