YAY must order soon. Thanks for the update!

Did you read the amazon.com review? Brutal...


Amazon.com
Few side projects have ever proven so disastrous. When Duran Duran bassist John Taylor and guitarist Andy Taylor formed the Power Station in 1985, it not only toppled their other band's domination over the pop world but cast a dark cocaine and slap-bass cloud over the entire decade that didn't shake off until Miami Vice was cancelled and Nirvana arrived. But that wasn't all. Superstitious types believe that resentful Durannies set a curse on singer Robert Palmer, Chic drummer Tony Thompson and producer Bernard Edwards that eventually sent them all to early graves. Two decades on, all that is swept aside and what remains is the music: Self-indulgent and superficial, yes - and, with just eight songs, in such small portions. But, in retrospect, the Power Station is also unexpectedly forceful and funky, particularly with "Some Like It Hot" and a cover of T. Rex's "Bang A Gong." --Aidin Vaziri
"Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

It is your typical slam the 80's nosense. Nothing wrong with the PowerSation.
You had a lot of people trying to jump on the funkrock bandwagon in the mid to late 80's.

I think it was a funk part that seemed to set certain music critics off in a frenzy.
