 ▓▓▀     Theoretically, this should be a note-perfect example of       ▓▓▓▓
▓▓▀      commercial '80s pop music at its best. But it isn't. Half of   ▀ ▒
 ▒ ░     this album is actually pretty great, though ù particularly       ▒▌
   ▒▌    the early Bananarama hits. The Fun Boy Three-produced "He      ■▀▓▓
 ■▀▓▓    Was Really Sayin' Something" throws that band's quirky        ▓▌  ▀▓▄
▓▌  ▀▓▄  avant-funk underneath the threesome's harmonizing; the cover   ▀▄██▀
 ▀▄██▀   of "Aie A Mwana" shows off some slightly unexpected Afrobeat   ▓▓▀
 ▓▓▀     chops over a brisk arrangement; while "Shy Boy" takes a more  ▓▓▌ ■▄
▓▓▌ ■▄   mainstream approach, but without losing its understated        ▀▒  ▐▌
 ▀▒  ▐▌  sass. The American hits "Robert De Niro's Waiting" and            ▄▀
    ▄▀   "Cruel Summer" show how the trio could balance chart            ▄▒▌
  ▄▒▌    aspirations with atypical singing or subject matter. When it    ▀▓▓
  ▀▓▓    comes to the multi-national smashes produced by Stock,            ▀▓▄
    ▀▓▄  Aitken & Waterman, though, it's not quite a case of the         ▄██▀
  ▄██▀   emperor having no clothes as much as a case of SAW being a     ▓▓▓▄
 ▓▓▀     one-trick pony. The reworking of Shocking Blue's "Venus" was  ▓▓▓▓
▓▓▀      a well-deserved success, taking the off-kilter pop/rock of     ▀ ▒
 ▒ ░     the original and giving it a sparkling dance undercarriage.      ▒▌
   ▒▌    "I Heard a Rumour" isn't bad either, with a catchy chorus      ■▀▓▓
 ■▀▓▓    and a similar synth sheen. Unfortunately, the rest of the     ▓▌  ▀▓▄
▓▌  ▀▓▄  SAW-overseen selections do both the band and producers a       ▀▄██▀
 ▀▄██▀   major disservice, all being pallid and boring revamps of       ▓▓▀
 ▓▓▀     those two songs. If they ever felt defensive about the        ▓▓▌ ■▄
▓▓▌ ■▄   critical slams they received, the fact remains that at this    ▀▒  ▐▌
 ▀▒  ▐▌  point in the band's career there wasn't much to shout about.      ▄▀
    ▄▀   A new version of the Beatles' "Help!" at least provided them    ▄▒▌
  ▄▒▌    with a song that was more distinct than most of the             ▀▓▓
  ▀▓▓    late-'80s hash they received, but it wasn't as compelling a       ▀▓▄
    ▀▓▄  reworking as the others.                                        ▄██▀
