1991's POP LIFE, the only Bananarama album featuring Jacqui O'Sullivan (who replaced original member Siobhan Fahey when Fahey married Eurythmics' Dave Stewart and left to form the more experimental Shakespear's Sister), is an all-out dance record in the tradition of Soul II Soul and other then-fashionable UK dance outfits. POP LIFE downplays the disco-style Hi-NRG beats and somewhat brittle sheen of the trio's Stock-Aitken-Waterman days. It's a looser, more bass-heavy album, named after but not featuring the Prince hit.

O'Sullivan's voice is throatier than Fahey's, effectively changing the trio's sound. She and original members Keren Woodward and Sarah Dallin mostly sing actual harmonies, rather than the unison vocals familiar from Bananarama's early hits. POP LIFE is considerably different from Bananarama's earlier albums, but it's a satisfying example of post-acid-house/pre-trip-hop UK dance music. Guests include dance maven Youth, ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, and Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook-who originally discovered the trio.

Photographer: Ellenvon Unworth.

Entertainment Weekly (7/12/91) - "..you can always count on them for a couple of perky singles....but this album takes us to an eerier place than we'd ever expect.." - Rating: A

5 stars Best Pop CD Ever...
Not much to say.. every track is excellent. Not bubblegum pop.. Pop with some well varied instruments and sounds. Each track is just a bit different. The harmonies are just great. DO NOT pass this one up.. buy it before it goes out of print again. I actually listened to this CD so much I had to put it away as I burt myself out on it.

5 stars Very Original
This CD is the first after 4 years touring and just doing singles and with a new member of the trio, although very contemporary with the music of the times it was also very different in the style that they have been doing till this point in time. Although it was a very good CD musically, it produced only 3 hits in Europe and not in the top 10, and also the last CD released in the US under the London Records label. Preacher Man, Long Train Running, Only your love, Tripping on your love were the songs mostly played in Europe, Japan and Australia, in England Preacher Man was the only song that made it. For those music lovers and Bananarama fans this is a collectors item you must have.

Chills Kaleidoscope World CD  (1986) (Import) Import; Australia

Pop Life album
CD $23.75
KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD contains 10 bonus tracks and represents everything the band recorded through early 1986, including all of the LOST EP, and the I LOVE MY LEATHER JACKET/THE GREAT ESCAPE 12" KALEIDOSCOPE WORLD, The Chills' 18-track compilation culled from The Chills early and mid-'80s EPs and singles, is highlighted by the song "Pink Frost." The Chills' Martin Phillipps mixes up melodic pop with elements of garage rock and punk, creating songs with a sweet melancholy all their own. Phillipps has always been the focus of the Chills, writing and singing the band's songs. His group has also rivaled Menudo in its sheer ...

Bananarama followed up their hit-laden True Confessions, which spawned their international chart-topping version of "Venus," with 1987's Wow! True Confessions witnessed the emerging role of Stock, Aitken & Waterman as the trio's producers -- Wow! was wholly assembled by the hitmaking team, which was also responsible for hits by Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue, Dead or Alive, Donna Summer, and countless others. This album is, therefore, a straightforward ...

Bananarama Deep Sea Skiving CD  (1983)

Pop Life songs
CD $10.19  4.8 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Bananarama's first album is by far their best. Before they fell in with the lucrative but often boring Stock, Aitken & Waterman assembly line starting with 1986's True Confessions, Siobhan Fahey, Sarah Dallin, and Keren Woodward were unashamedly poppy, but they had enough artistic credibility to create a debut album that, barring a couple of small missteps, actually works as an album instead of a collection of singles with some filler. (They were even hip enough for their first single to be produced by ex-Sex Pistol Paul Cook.) Of course, the singles are terrific. There are four British chart hits in these 11 songs, and every one of them still sounds terrific, where later hits like "I Can't Help It" are terribly dated. The slinky "Shy Boy" and a rattling cover of the Marvelettes' "He Was Really Sayin' Somethin'" (co-starring the trio's early mentors Fun Boy Three) are classic ...

Bananarama CD  (1984)

Pop Life album
CD $9.95  4.6 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
For their second album, Bananarama underwent a telling change in persona, from the flyaway-haired, overall-clad everygirls of Deep Sea Skiving into a sleeker and glammier look. Similarly, the album has a much more polished feel than the occasionally scattershot debut, which is not always a good thing; sticking with Tony Swain and Steve Jolley to produce the whole thing (the duo had shared production duties with three others on the debut), Bananarama traded their early tropical-tinged playfulness and ironic overtones for a more commercial sound that scored well on the charts (the terrific opener "Cruel Summer" was a worldwide hit, and several other tracks were U.K. hits) but was less unique than before. What's most unusual about ...

Fall Interim CD  (2005)

Pop Life album
CD $18.35  Audio Samples
Since the turn of the century, the Fall's output has been as predictable as Rush's old "three studio albums, then a live one" way of doing things. For the Fall it's "one cracking, great album, then one that's shoddily put together". Compilations from outside sources - which have been generally very good since 2000 - muddle up the sequence a bit, but we're talking band-approved releases, which the live/rehearsals/leftovers Interim is. With some exciting new tracks, Interim beats 2G+2 - a similar collection from 2002 - by a mile, but noisy audience recordings, odd tape edits, and chaotic rambling makes this a better hardcore-fan album than an introduction to the band. ~ David Jeffries This album recorded in Manchester in early 2004 is the Fall's latest and most recent batch of recordings and consists of nine tracks some of which are re recordings of older material performed by the current line up of the Fall and also newer songs written specifically for this album. The arrangements of the older songs have changed from original state and in the hands of the current line up sound new and fresh and lend a new slant to the material, which fits in perfectly with the brand new material that ...
