Album Description
Exclusive Japanese CD/DVD (NTSC/Region Code is TBC) pressing of their 2005 album includes the single 'Move In My Direction' and bonus track 'Venus' (2005 Remix) plus a bonus DVD featuring 'Move In My Direction' (Promo Video) along with other material (TBC). Bananarama found worldwide fame in the '80s with their melodic pop songs. The group was founded in London in 1981 by friends Siobhan Fahey, Keren Woodward, and Sarah Dallin. In 1988 they got into the Guinness Book of World Records as the United Kingdom's best selling girl group ever (replaced since then by the Spice Girls). In the same year (1988) Siobhan Fahey left the group after marrying Eurythmics' Dave Stewart and they added Jacquie O'Sullivan instead. Bananarama attempted a comeback in the British charts in 2005 with the single 'Move In My Direction', released in July. It hit the charts at #14, making this song the group's 26th Top 40 hit, and their first Top 20 hit since their 1989 hit single 'Help'. Pony Canyon. 2005.

LOVED IT!.......2006-12-07
i have to say that this and the bananarama's first cd are my favorite. i do recommend this cd to anyone that loves bananarama and dance music. i give this cd 2 thumbs up!!!
Should have been their Shining Moment in the new millennium.......2006-01-10
First of all, let me start by saying that when you purchase this disc, do get it from Amazon Marketplace, because this is way too much to pay for any single disc import.
As for the disc, I was anxious to hear an astounding modern yet retro dance disc from one of my favorite girl groups of the 80s. Unfortunately, instead of picking up on the latest influence of 80s music in dance music, what we get here is predominantly disco flavored tracks that sound painfully dated, with some Latin tones now and then. The only semi retro/electro tracks on here (and my favorites) are Feel For You, Love Bite, Your Love is Like a Drug, and Marc Almond's remix of Venus. The two lead singles "Move in My Direction" and "Look on the Floor" are not even the strongest tracks! And the remixes on their singles don't make them much better.
I appreciate the commercial direction the girls have taken, but you can still sound mainstream while being more sophisticated than this. Take a listen to the new Madonna or even the Kelly Osbourne(!) to hear some infectious melodies with an 80s flair that don't melt down into total cheese. Unfortunately, I just don't see US radio embracing any of the sounds on this disc.
