Big Beef Music Review
By Tim

OK. So do not stop reading when you find out which cd I have reviewed. I had no intention of ever listening to Cyndi Lauper again. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER. Believe me... But my co-worker brought a new Cyndi Lauper cd to work and told me I had to listen to it. I figured I had nothing to lose and I was a little tired of the Christmas music so I listened to it on the way home. Well... I listened to the whole thing and am now reviewing it.

Anyone who has listened to Cyndi Lauper of the 1980's will be quite shocked by this album. In the '80's her music was straight pop, she dressed funny, talked funny, and sang funny with somewhat silly lyrics. (Not her fault, it was just the times.) This album is completely different. She has joined with Soul Solution to create a good techno dance album. The album is called Disco Inferno and contains six remixes of the song with that name. Don't let that stop you, though. Each track is a completely different sound with a mix of different lyrics. The vocals are suprising as well. Cyndi Laupers has voice left the '80's and truely matured, she sounds a little like Annie Lennox. (One of the best contemporary voices.) The backup vocals are great and really complement Cyndi Lauper's voice. All the tracks (except 4) have a great dance beat with music that is not to heavy or to much fluff. Although I did not dance while driving my car, the music is very danceable. Now that I recognize this music I am sure I will here at most of the dance bars I go to. (If not I will definitely request it.) Go to CDNOW:Cyndi Lauper to get a preview of the sounds of this album. Especially check out the a capella version of Disco Inferno on track 4.

I rate this album 4 BB & B's. (As a techno dance selection.) Great techno dance sounds and vocals. The price is right as well.

Disco Inferno can be purchased at most music stores. The cd can also be purchase at CDNOW:Cyndi Lauper for $5.49 for the single and all it's mixes($2.49 for just the radio edit) and is well worth it. For those of you, like Reggie, who have always wished you could join the fan club, here it is - Cyndi Lauper Official Fan Club -- Biography

Ranking:   out of 5 BB&B's.
