After all, they were recorded to tape, and tape is not MP3.<br /><br />Regarding Two Hearts, I think there are two major things wrong with it (which would explain the chart performance). One, due to the absence of the brilliant original rhythm section, programmed drums were used extensively, resulting in several tracks having pretty much the same beat and timing, and samey timing would make any track less memorable. Second, the track order is just not right. The first track should have been Children on Parade, as it is a perfect opener with a memorable intro, and gives a good glimpse of what the rest of the album will sound like. My perfect track order would be:<br />1. Children on Parade (interesting timing, memorable intro, and a sweet sax solo)<br />2. Giving Up (upbeat and with nice lyrics, but generic timing: sandwiched nicely)<br />3. Everything I Need (just feels right here)<br />4. Stay at Home (another one with interesting timing)<br />5. Man With Two Hearts (the title tracks in the middle, or the "heart" of the album)<br />6. Maria (again, feels in the right place)<br />7. Hard Luck Story (two social commentaries in a row, one more depressing the the other, as it should be)<br />8. Snakes and Ladders (upbeat, memorable, above average timing, lyrics will get stuck in your head)<br />9. Sail to You (a tribute to Australia right before the end)<br />10. Still Life (a perfect bittersweet closer)<br /><br />I spent a lot of time listening to the songs, getting their feel, and thinking of the lyrics' significance, and I cannot think of a better order than that.<br /><br />And... thanks for this. I own a pristine copy of Looking for Jack CD, with that one bonus track. If I do my job right, you just may find a HQ rip of it... somewhere...

When the group vanished for those two years, too much stuff changed in the music world to make a new Men At Work relevant. Which is too bad, because, looking back TWO HEARTS is a really fine album that should have done much better than it did.MJMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047234333310975506.post-28734256450825884702014-08-27T18:07:37.849+10:002014-08-27T18:07:37.849+10:00Thanks for dropping by Destroyer and Kalypso - nic...Thanks for dropping by Destroyer and Kalypso - nice to have some interest from across the globe<br />AussieRockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984668558021295355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047234333310975506.post-11538925595978643742014-08-26T11:15:45.784+10:002014-08-26T11:15:45.784+10:00Muito obrigado!
