Q (11/92, p.133) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "..Their brand of frantic, brassy, two-chord pop funk remains surprisingly fresh and sparky a decade on...infectious and entertaining.."
CMJ (1/5/04, p.10) - Ranked #6 in CMJ's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1982". Haircut 100 Pelican West Songs Pelican West Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  No idea where to stick these guys
But that doesn't change the fact that this is probably one of my favorite albums yet. The combination of latin influence with the irrepresible enthusiasm the music shows makes this a remarkably fun album. Muscially, these guys were very talented, and I really can't quite see why they didn't go further than they did. Although nothing alike in terms of sound, they're up there with the B-52's for just the sheer amount of fun it is in listening to them, for me at least.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No One Of The 80's Best
Pelican West is 80's music at it's best. It contains track after track of great songs. The high production values and musicianship from Haircut 100 is top notch. The horn arrangements added that extra zing that set this release apart from similar artists of the day. Haircut 100's performance on VH-1's Bands Reunited, awhile back, proved that they were the real deal, and that all these years later, the songs have not lost their punch.

The Claudias, Gulfstream, The Rosie Singers, Wednesday (background vocals).
Named after Godard's 1959 science-fiction masterpiece and heavily influenced by '80s synth bands like Depeche Mode, Alphaville was the Munich-based trio of Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens. Their 1984 debut, FORVER YOUNG, features somber but catchy synth-pop not unlike late Ultravox. Three songs-- the title track, "The Jet Set" and "Sounds Like A Melody"--were sizeable hits, and a fourth, the brooding and atmospheric "Big In Japan" (ostensibly about heroin addiction) was a worldwide Top Ten ...

| | Radiohead In Rainbows CD
Pelican West
$10.69
Initially issued in October 2007 with little prior notice, Radiohead's seventh full-length studio outing, IN RAINBOWS, took not only fans but the entire music industry by surprise. Released for a limited time only as an online download, the album was offered by the revered British rock group in a groundbreaking "pay what you want" format, allowing the listener to decide its digital value before an appearance in conventional CD form a few months later.
Innovative business practices aside, IN RAINBOWS also garnered attention as Radiohead's most immediately engaging offering since its BENDS/OK COMPUTER days, returning to slightly more accessible pop/rock song structures, while never abandoning the arty experimentalism of subsequent albums. From the shuffling beats of "15 Step" to the amped-up energy of "Bodysnatchers" to the glorious gloom of "Videotape," RAINBOWS presents the full spectrum of Radiohead's artistry, while deftly avoiding vocal melodramatics or excessive ...
| | Black Sabbath Paranoid CDs (1971) (Import) Bonus CD; Bonus DVD; Advd; Deluxe Edition; United Kingdom
Pelican West
$31.89
PARANOID proved to be Black Sabbath's most focused, consistent, and successful record. Leaving behind the amorphous, extended jams of their debut for focused songs and a more structured sound, Black Sabbath virtually wrote the book on heavy metal with the ominous, unforgettable riffs, thunderous rhythms, and dark themes on this release. There are some up-tempo rockers, the famous title track for one, but for the most part PARANOID oozes along like a bad dream, as on the slinky, creepy opener, "War Pigs," or the lumbering thud of "Iron Man" (which boasts one of the most indelible electric guitar riffs in rock history).
2009 digitally remastered and expanded deluxe three CD edition of the classic sophomore album from the Heavy Metal kingpins led by Ozzy Osbourne. Originally released in 1970, Paranoid still stands as an important milestone in the history of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. This ultimate edition features a beautifully remastered version of the album, an alternate version of the album including instrumental mixes, alternate recordings and more plus the SACD 5.1 audio mix of the album. Majestic Metal, indeed. Sanctuary.
The album's title is apt: PARANOID is filled with an edgy aggression and lyrics ...
