Customer Reviews
Kajagoogoo is awesome and underrated
i love this band is one of my favorite bands of all time. i was not around in the 80s infact when too shy came out i was not born until a year later. but i am a big punk and new wave fan. and i feel this cd is awesome. Thank to another new wave band duran duran member nick rhodes and Limahl of the kajagoogoo the world got to see this wild hair band on mtv. i love all the songs of kajagoogooo and Limahl. i love too shy of course who doesn't!? ooh to be ah had a unique danceable song to it. hang on now is a perfect song if u want a song for a slow dance. Turn ur back on me i love definatly its very danceable (even though i think the band turned ther back on Limahl because he was the reason they were famous to begin with along wit nick rhodes of duran duran) Limahls solo career was awesome too. he had more success than the band did after his departure. if u want classic new wave music get this cd.
Not bad for one-hit wonders.
"Too Shy" and "Never Ending Story" are probably the only ones you know, but don't let that deter you. If you don't think synth-pop groups are sellouts just because they have a commercial sheen and can write good melodies, you'll enjoy a lot of these "hits" (to be fair, many of them really were hits in the UK). Plus, these guys don't sound as full of themselves as Duran Duran. Maybe that's what happens when everyone laughs at the name of your band. As to whether the real talent in the group belonged to Limahl or the other Kajagoogoos, this album makes a pretty good case for the latter.
Kajagoogoo did it without Limahl
Great record. Kajagoogoo had some talent. Limahl's singing is like pouring Mrs. Buttersworth all over you. When Limahl left, that's where Kajagoogoo got interesting. The remaining members proved they had talent. The Lions Mouth and Turn Your Back on Me are fabulous. The Limahl singles are not as consistant. The NeverEnding Story and Inside to Outside are great songs, but the rest of his material is pure cheese (Ever hear the Colour all My Days cd?). I miss Kaja, Nick Beggs continues to work with some of music's best including Howard Jones and Belinda Carisile while Limahl sits there with the same bad hair wearing batery opperated shirts. Buy this record. The groove is there and I reccommend listening with headphones, there is a cool echo effect. Peace.
