Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A for Effort....O for omissions!!!!!.......2007-01-25

I just received this "2 albums in 1" deal and on the whole I think it is pretty good for the price and idea....HOWEVER....There were 2 omissions from the "2nd Half" of this compilation..1.Success and 2.Dancerama...which were hits for the group...it probably would have been better if the company just made a budget double-disk edition....I did get "Dress for Excess" separately. This "compilation" is still a great addition to collecters, but the two songs missing is a bit of a let-down...

5 out of 5 stars The Sputnik Corp. is Back!.......2000-07-15

Well it's about time that the pioneers of horror show, cyber-punk, Clockwork Orange, electro rock and roll have returned! Sigue Sigue Sputnik gave the 80's what it was truly missing, Guts! Most electronic bands were whimpy. Sputnik were weird and strange! Flaunt it contains hyperactive electro ditties like "Love Missle F1-11", (which you may have heard in "Ferris Buehler's Day Off"), and "21st Century Boy". The one thing that made Flaunt It really cool was how Sputnik paid for it. They sold commercials between tracks. (Studio Line by Loreal!) Then we have Dress for Excess. Sputnik goes commercial! This albumn has their pop tune "Success" This song is a little toned-down for the Sputniks but is still a great track! This albumn also gets into a bit of hyperactivity! All-in-all this CD combo is a dream come true for the Sigue Sigue Sputnik fan! Sigue Sigue Sputnik, they invented the future!

5 out of 5 stars Before Their Time.......2000-06-23

A welcome reminder of one of the 80's most under-rated pioneers of electro-rock n roll. Following on from the 70's mantle of Suicide, Sputnik gave the world a kick in pop-chops. Flaccid dance and hoary old dinosaurs like Phil Collins avec Genesis were be-striding the pop world and killing originality, when along came James, Degville et al with fishnet tights on faces, pinapple haircuts and bass playing from hell ! Listening again to these two slices of prime Sputnik, one can envisage all the wide-eyed kiddies thinking of how they too would have liked to have been able to sell the advertising space inbetween the album tracks, as Sigue Sigue did on Flaunt It. Pioneering sample handling from cult film pervades the entire span of both albums, even the more laid back pop of the Pete Waterman produced Dress for Excess still throws convention out of the window with standouts like Orgasm. Long may they reign in electro hell (Heck for you Yankees !) And roll on their new album - due mid 2000. Sputnik you have been sorely missed. Come back and kick start the millenium, your time is now !
