商品レビュー:    デッド・オア・アライブのエピック時代のシングルを集めたのがこの『Evolution』。収録曲はデビュー曲「Misty Circles」、KC & ザ・サンシャインバンドのカヴァーで彼らにとって初のヒット「Theat's The Way (I Like It)」、ストック・エイトケン＆ウォーターマンのプロデュースによるアメリカでの大ヒット「You Spin Me Round」、そしてセールスはいまいちだった80年代後期のナンバー「Come Home with Me Baby」「Turn Round and Count 2 Ten」（今回はリミックス版を収録）など。初期のヒット曲はジョルジオ・モロダー風豪華アレンジと色っぽいリズムを強調した激しいポップサウンドで、今聴いても新鮮。ピート・バーンズのウィットと派手な風ぼうも同様で、これがイギリスで見向きもされなくなった数年後に日本で大受けしたのだ。(Dominic Wills, Amazon.co.uk)
スポットライトレビュー: 評価: 概要: There will be music コメント: My previous review inexplicably vanished through the toilet bowl of Amazon jp. So here is another. Dead or Alive (DOA) was very much part of the irrationally exuberant Japan of the 80s. The 80s basically passed me by, but I must have recognised out of my peripheral vision their massive popularity in that bubble land. That’s why, over the years, in my mind’s eye, DOA became inextricably enmeshed with the manic era of greed and swagger and hugely bad taste etc etc, and subsequently led me to be dismissive of their music. It took me twenty years to realise that I had missed out. They did indeed make great timeless pop music (Hi-NRG, whatever). Maybe the 80s wasn’t as ugly as I now perceive. After all, hey, Mr. Pete Burns graced the era with his most sparkling incarnation didn’t he, that is, before he went wild with plastic surgery. And he was truly something to behold wasn’t he. I lament his surgical addiction not because he ruined his beauty (I don’t expect an Adonis of twenty-something to retain his looks well into his forties), but because he killed what his face was capable of. His impressive vocal talent was always backed up by his fantastically expressive face which could communicate a lot more than his now celebrated quick tongue. Mr. Burns was a genuinely great performer and his face did a wonderful job of radiating his passion, temperament, conviction, sense of theatre, and of conveying every little lyrical nuance of his own songs. How superb an actor he was has to be seen to be believed. So just go and see his 80s videos to believe, particularly the incomparable “I’d do anything”. His facial muscles which served him so well have since been killed by their master’s numerous surgical adventures. In his attempt to fight that mighty sculptor, time, Mr. Burns has lost his great asset. Now he looks as if he were wearing a rigid mask. The irony is that his now wrinkle-free, supposedly age-defying and eerily expressionless face is evidence that time has never stopped for him or anyone in the last twenty years. The Pete Burns that he was in his entirety now seems to us new recruits like some kind of mythological creature that one glimpses in a deep forest of one’s Ruritanian imagination, and the vision of which one never recaptures anywhere in the real world, not even in Mr. Burns himself. It’s gone. Nevertheless, his music remains to remind us of what he once was. If you’re curious, buy this CD. 評価: 概要: ８０’ｓのハイエナジーディスコはDead or Alive！！ コメント: ８０年代から９０年代に一世風靡したハイエナジーディスコサウンド。 ピート・バーンズの奇抜でカリスマ性溢れる容姿と どこまでもエネルギー全開なサウンドで人気だったのがDead or Aliveですね。 彼らのベスト集大成がこのＣＤです。 全１８曲、気分ハイでもう乗り乗りですよ！！ 中でもやっぱり、ストック・エイトキン・ウオーターマンのプロデュースによる You Spin Me 'Round (Like a Record)が最高ですね。 Brand New Loverも名曲です。 イベントやドライブ、お掃除のＢＧＭに最適なＣＤだと思います。 どこまでも明るいサウンドは、落ち込んだときにもイイかも知れませんね。 一家に一枚の必携ＣＤですゾ！！ 評価: 概要: おすすめ度１０００％ コメント: HOOKED ON LOVEはTHE BIG REVOLVER MIX "EDIT"，MY HEART GOES BANGもAMERICAN WIPE OUT MIX "EDIT",BRAND NEW LOVERもALBUM "EDIT",SOMETHING IN MY HOUSE はSINGLE VERSIONです!! 評価をもっと見る
