Synopsis

Product Description
For an album that s supposed to be her major label sell-out, 'Blast the Human Flower' certainly has its share of adventures, but then nothing in Danielle Dax s oeuvre is easily pigeonholed. Her cover of 'Tomorrow Never Knows' was the flashpoint for her harsher critics, but its Oriental exotica fit right in with her love of Indian bhangra music. And for every 4-4 rocker ('The ID Parade'), there s a mysterious folkie number ('Daisy') or atonal electronics ('Bayou'). The album didn t sell a lick, resulting in Sire s dropping Dax, and Dax departing the music business, but it s another absorbing listen from one of the most intriguing female figures of the 80s.

CD Reviews

Better than expected...
Rodolfo | Insane Diego | 03/14/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"From before the "Blast The Human Flower" days, this concert has some crazy-headhurtin' editing (pre-videoeffects 80's) but the sound quality is better than I expected. I was a little put off by the fact that almost every song has a backing track, (essentially the records being played minus the main vocal track), so the band gets second status, but it's a small club, Dani is in fine form, and this is the only place to hear some of these tunes since the CD singles-collection is out of print and therefore very $. Definitely worth the ten-spot it took for me."
Pleasantly surprised.

"Bought this album for one flashback song,'Daisy'. Love the quality of her voice in that. Very high creative and production values throughout the album. Before buying this I checked DD out on YouTube and discovered she has many songs I liked but didn't realize she was the performer. Same goes with this album. There are other songs on this album I've enjoyed in my club days but didn't realize they were hers. A very pleasant surprise! I'm going to enjoy getting familiar with this album and I have a feeling I'll be picking up additional works of hers. Check out her videos on YouTube and you'll be hooked, or at least intrigued."
