 Dave STEWART December 11, 2007
David C. Edwards (Darzet, UK)
Bought this one with a certain amount of trepidation but fears were not to be confirmed. A truly great set of songs - for my money he has put more into this than anything he did with Miss Lennox. Outstanding tracks for me are Jack Talking and This Little Town. These are as diverse as cheese and lithium - JT is guaranteed to get the party going even though I bet no one is aware of Dave's non-Eurythmics output and TLT is a simple but effective ballad.
 Enjoyable rock and pop January 31, 2006

Dave, one half of Eurythmics, has been making rock history since the early 70s. This remarkably versatile 1991 offering kept the flag flying - it is replete with all the elements that made Eurythmics so special: Strange visionary lyrics, brilliant hooks and subtle, understated production. He's quite a chameleon -- on Soul Years he outbowies David, on King Of The Hypocrites (a complex piece with disturbing undertones) -- he outdylans Bob and on Love Shines he outmccartneys Paul. Jack Talking is a smooth funky ditty evocative of the Bee Gees, This Little Town is a Kinks-like number with folksy harmonica, On Fire has a lush, guitar-driven wall of sound, while Fashion Bomb boasts a mixture of dance style rhythms with glam-rock overtones and Party Town reminds one of the underrated Tourists, particularly in the juxtaposition of lugubrious lyrics with the orchestral fullness of the backing. A delightful listen.
The chameleon changes again October 4, 2009
Robert Thomas (Brittany, France)
Perhaps comparing Dave Stewart to a chameleon is unfair as a chameleon changes to merge in with its surroundings - something that definitly cannot be said of Mr. Stewart. Comparing this CD to, say, 'Savage' by the Eurythmics shows just how far the music has developed. Here the sound stage is fuller, not quite the Philadelphia 'Wall of Sound', but there is far more going on here than the ears pick up on the first playings. The lyrics are refreshingly intelligent, but sometimes the music suffers when trying to cram too many syllables into a short musical phrase - and, being honest, Mr.Stewart does not have the best voice. After the first four tracks you begin to think that this is a minor-key affair, perfect for relaxing with your partner before trying to increase the human race, but when you reach 'On Fire' the mood changes, guitars to the front (and a brass section - synthesised?), more rythmical, more of everything really.
