China Crisis - The Complete 12 Collection
Review by mcGyver J. mcCargar
The Complete 12 Collection by China Crisis is a comprehensive anthology of the band's twelve-inch singles, spanning from their early 1980s post-punk beginnings to their more polished, synth-pop sound of the late 80s. This album features all of the band's extended mixes, remixes, and B-sides, making it a must-have for any fan of the band.
The album opens with the catchy synth-pop track "Wishful Thinking," which quickly sets the tone for the rest of the collection. The band's signature blend of intricate guitar work, lush keyboard arrangements, and lead vocalist Gary Daly's distinctive voice is evident in every track. The upbeat "Black Man Ray" and the dreamy "Arizona Sky" are standout tracks that showcase the band's musical versatility.
The later tracks in the collection, such as "King in a Catholic Style" and "You Did Cut Me," represent the band's more polished sound and demonstrate a growth in their songwriting abilities. The remastered sound quality of the tracks is impressive, making the album a treat for audiophiles.
