Customer Reviews:

A Bright Star in Heaven.......2006-06-29

Following the tragic loss of Kirsty a few years back I assumed I had her entire catalog on CD .... Wrong! Up pops this gem as an Amazon Recommendation and into my wallet I dive. A fine cd with many standout tracks, particlarly, "In These Shoes?" and "England 2 Colombia 0". I love the way she plays with the Calipso rhythms, much as she did in her early years appearing as guest singer on several UK TV programs.

Tropical Brainstorm is great start to finish.......2005-09-18

This album is so well-written, performed, and produced that it continues to be a pleasure to hear over and over again. I suspect this is probably some of Kristy's best work, completely levereaged by her love of tropically inspired love of latin/afro-cuban music, men, leisure, and alcohol. There are some very talented performers on this album and you can tell that everyone had a fun time making it. Kristy's voice is very pure, and hearing her sing many of the lines in other languages is very alluring! If you heard "These Shoes" and wonder if you should buy the whole album, the answer is definitely "Yes".

Just Brilliant.......2004-03-25

This album is one of my very, very favorites. The lyrics are hilarious, and the music gets better the more you listen to it. You can't do without this one.

The Best.......2001-03-12

You know how you can have good albums, even favourite albums? But there is usually one track which is a bit duff. Not on 'Tropical Brainstorm'! You know how you can overplay an album over three months and then you don't listen to it for ages? Not 'Tropical Brainstorm'! You know how the charts today is filled with airheaded bimbo's, marketed solely on their looks although they cannot sing without that bloody awful voice modulator thing (And 'Yes' Britney, I'm talking about you!)...? Well, not Kirsty MacColl. Simply put, a damn fine artist unfairly taken from us, but a tremendous album. A 'must buy'!
