Gods, I forgot how great this album is. In an era when albums had a lot of filler in them, these songs are all really solid.
Originally, I had this on cassette. Such a different time.

INXS ‘Kick’ SACD. Playing on System 1:
PSAudio PerfectWave SACD transport, DSD stream I2S out into HoloAudio Cyan 2 DAC, into PSAudio BHK Signature preamp, into BHK Signature amp, into B&W 803Ds.
I’m not listening at ‘critical listening’ volumes, but it’s very clean, so this isn’t a ‘review’ just commentary…
All the instruments have a good separation to them. Need You Tonight is a standout here. Mediate blooms into this deep synth bass wash.
‚Es war gut, dass wir sie auf 35-Milimeter-Film aufgenommen haben, so dass Prag groß und wunderbar aussieht. Ich habe noch alle Originalnegative. Momentan diskutieren wir mit den INXS-Mitgliedern, ob wir sie in 4K restaurieren lassen, um sie als Minifilm im Kino zu zeigen.“‘ https://deutsch.radio.cz/prag-als-kulisse-fuer-musikvideos-internationaler-bands-inxs-machten-den-1980er-8806730 #inxs #prag
"Elegantly wasted" - INXS
A decade since their breakthrough, INXS found the future by looking back - this song, and much of the album, tries to recapture the magic of "Kick". Not sure they succeeded, the dance beats are a bit half-hearted; when they rock, they win.
I don't feel daft comparing Michael Hutchence's stage presence to Aerosmith in the same studio last week. The rock gods are here.
someone cue up Johnsons Airplane from INXS for me #farm #farming #agriculture #inxs #music #photomonday #photomontag
Walking the dogs this evening listening to the album “Kick” by INXS, I’m reminded that the first few times I heard one of the singles on the radio, I thought it was called “Debenhams’ Tie.”

"Shining star" from INXS, in a video that may have inspired the subsequent dating series Man 'O' Man where women push rejected men into a swimming pool.
Promoted their live album, cunningly entitled "Live Baby Live". Backing vocals on the single are from Keith Urban, who's since become a massive country music star.
Presenters for this edition are Mark Franklin and Elayne Smith.
Mood.
Lorimer's jazzy, funky remix of the #INXS classic...
"Bitter Tears" (1990)
Richard Lowenstein | Troy Davies (Remix)
Breezeblockin' tonight, it's 2001 and Jon Carter is stepping in for Mary Anne Hobbs while she's on her summer holidays and he has dropped this track which was definitely on a tape I had in my car at the time (such was the fashion)
