  • A comprehensive collection of Jones' post-disco work, most of it recorded between 1980 and 1982 in Nassau, Bahamas, with a truly remarkable studio band, including the legendary reggae rhythm team of Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, along with Marianne Faithful collaborator Barry Reynolds on guitar. The songs--which run the gamut from Smokey Robinson to Chrissie Hynde to Johnny Cash--are generally arranged in an innovative, ahead-of-their-time way (echoey yet spare, with lots of deep bass) that owes a bit to dub and in any case provides a perfect backdrop for Jones' Queen of the Undead vocals.
Professional Reviews
Spin (7/98, pp.124-125) - 8 (out of 10) - "...These songs capture the vibe of the early 1980s demilitarized zone between disco and hip-hop, when black pop slowed down the tempo but remained party-friendly and percolated in a distinctly African way..."

Entertainment Weekly (6/19/98, p.75) - "...Her mannish, sing-speak delivery (imagine a Jamaican Lotte Lenya) bristles with sexual frisson, and driven by Sly & Robbie's cyber-dub rhythms on those early-'80s sessions, it made for transgressive dance-floor epics that bridged new-wave chill and `Saturday Night Fever'..." - Rating: B+
