Spice

My first foreign CD - this is guaranteed to become a long review...

#1 Wannabe 8½

Where it all began. Not for me yet, though. Nonsense lyrics of course, but the more the merrier, eh? I so remember this playing on the radio during our art class and a random guy turning it off.

#2 Say You'll Be There 9½

Were the so many songs about "being there" before or are they all just imitations of this? To my record this was the single that launched my spicemania, during which I listened to this CD 24/7 and taped everything SG on the TV (not to mention anything about forcing my friends to watch the tapes (well, not that I hadn't got anything in return...))...

#3 2 Become 1 8½

Never one of my favourites, though I do understand why it was so successful. It's funny how different people have SG CDs in their shelves. Let's just take some examples I've witnessed regularly: Nanna and Mami, whose shelves probably have very little other in common. And Kati and me, of course. If also HRL had them, the picture would be perfect.

#4 Love Thing 8½

"OK" is the word to describe this. Definitely better than most of the generic fillers on this.

#5 Last Time Lover 6

Uuh ööh, so lazy. And having heard these more times than what the doctor prescribes doesn't help at all.

#6 Mama 7½

This actually seems to have grown a bit during the time I've not been listening to these. The repetition takes some points out, though.

#7 Who Do You Think You Are 10

Just the tops. Mental note: don't try to act all of the lyrics concretely when dancing...

#8 Something Kinda Funny 7

I don't know if this title can be turned against its owner. At least my cousin Kirsi used it effectively by modifying it into "We Smell Kinda Funny". Suddenly I got strong Mythos flashbacks. I really need to find my old decks. Where can they be? Must ask Kati if I'd have left them in her place some time long ago. After all, I did find the dual lands after more than of year of searching...

#9 Naked 5½

Oo horror. An association to Daphne & Celeste's I Love Your Sushi isn't enough to rescue this flubby piece of jelly.

#10 I U Can't Dance 4½

For Kirsi this utter horror was quite accurately "If You Can't Sing"...
