Traci Lords
"1000 Fires"
|
"Let me kiss it and make
it better," purrs the X-rated vixen turned mainstream actress
as Traci Lords attempts (on "Control," the first single)
to get a rise out of the techno audience. With writing/production
from Babble (ex-Thompson Twins), the KLF's Ben Watkins and Mike
Edwards of Jesus Jones, the music is sleek, robotic, and primed
for clubbers who'll view Traci as the camp descendant of disco
queen Amanda Lear. "Outlaw Lover" is worthy of Mitsou
and the serious tone of "Father's Field" tells us not
to treat her too lightly. --Jeff Bateman |

Reviewer: A music fan
FANASTIC TRACI! Unlike most techno albums, her debut goes beyond
simple rave standards and packs an album full of meaningful energy
and alot of feeling. It starts off with the hit single 'Control'
(from the film "Mortal Kombat") and takes you into
a virtual dance wonderland. The songs inculde hardcore pieces
('Good n' Evil'), soft ballads ('Distant Land'), and even campy
tunes ('Okey-Dokey'). Every track is a winner, not one fails
to loose your intrest. A standout piece includes 'Father's Field',
an emotional account of a painful (and true) experience that
happened to Lords. Traci's openess in this song is amazing and
reveals a vunerability that isn't very common in techno. Lords
has established herself as a true artist, and proven that there's
more to a "Melrose Place" star than good looks. |
