Synopsis

Amazon.com
A reminder that the post-Clash Mick Jones once had something exciting to say about the gray area between rock and dance/hip-hop. Initial fare like "E=MC2" and "C'Mon Every Beatbox" swings loose and wild, while such early '90s tracks as "The Globe" and "Rush" benefit from a tighter reign. A definitive collection. --Jeff Bateman

CD Reviews

An excellent "Best Of"
Brian D. Rubendall | Oakton, VA | 09/29/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

""Plante Bad" is an excellent anthology album that manages to capture nearly all of the highlights from Big Audio Dynamite's studio albums and thankfully makes no distinction between the two different versions of the band. All the best songs are here, from the classic samples of the Clint Eastwood Western "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" on "Medicine Show" from the first album to the excellent singles "The Globe" and "Rush" from the B.A.D. II era of the early nineties. For all but the most ardent fans, this is all the B.A.D. you'll ever need to own."
A CD for every beatbox
M. S. Tucker | Los Angeles, CA USA | 01/10/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I owned the first cassette by BAD when the first hit the music scene with "C'mon Everybeatbox" and loved it. Recently I wandered by this on the "used" shelf and looked at the tracks and thought, you know I really like all of these songs.The thing is..I really, really like these songs."The Medicine Show" with it's spaghetti western samples looped in is fantastic, the track with the most substance on this CD. I was sort of struck by how innovative it still sounds all these years later. "The Medicine Show" is equally ecclectic and the kitchy "C'mon Every Beatbox" not only musically is enjoyable with the Rap, Rock and Dance Hall styles but lyrically, it's hilarious.This collaboartion certainly isn't anywhere near the level of musical genius as The Clash, but it's a nice departure from the political heaviness and underlying punk.Considering most of the choices musically we have out now, this is a good distraction."
A must-have CD

"This CD does a great job of compiling the best of Big Audio Dynamite and Big Audio Dynamite II. Maybe I'm getting old (no, I *am* getting old!), but this stuff still sounds fresher than a lot of stuff I hear today. Mick and the boys sure crafted some great songs. You can't miss with this one."
