      5 out of 5 stars Bad Azz Track!!!.......2006-03-25

      This track is SUPER COOL, who'd a thought of sampling Queen's "Flash Gordon" theme; pure genious!! As far as the other reviewer, he/she obviously needs to stick to his "Boys Of Summer" or maybe some other trendy version of the newest "Backstreet Boys" song, cause he/she hasn't got any business reveiwing what he/she obviously doesn't understand. This is a booming track that'll go nicely with just about any set. Stick with the original mix. The song itself is worth 5 stars, as for the CD single...

      Now as far as the actual CD single goes, it really blows, a 1/2 star at best if even that, here's why. You get 4 tracks, a radio edit that only lasts about 3 minutes, a another lame 3-4 minute mix, a video, and then instead of having all the different tracks tracked out, you get the original mix, the Tomcraft mix, & Christian + Sleway mix all mashed together into one long track. WHY DID THEY DO THIS?!?!?!? I have no clue why they did this. Is it because the studio that released the disc are just so incompetent that they don't know how to track out their own releases? Is it Vanguard themselves wanting to rape my wallet for a couple more dollars cause they want me to buy the vinyl too? Who knows, but as far as I'm concerned I already paid them for a copy of this single & I'm not paying for it again. I'd suggest downloading the different mix's from Beatport or Audiojelly, don't buy this single though, you'll be wasting your money.

      2 out of 5 stars Worth it, for a cheap price..........2005-05-03

      I've collected a wide variety of music over the years, including dance/techno/electronica...or whatever you want to call it. I get a kick out of hearing some of my favorite classic rock tunes "modified" a bit. True, some stuff can be annoying and hard to listen to.

      These dance versions of Queen's "Flash" by Vanguard are fairly disappointing. It starts out fun enough, with a thumping beat after the main chourus...and then really goes nowhere. I often imagine how people at a dance club would react to the break in the beats. It just wouldn't work. The additional mixes are not much different. If there's anything good to say, it's that I'm glad Vanguard didn't try to dub any other vocals. I have both CDs out there featuring the "Flash" remixes. Thankfully, I didn't pay much for either...and now I understand why.

      THAT BRINGS OUT RARE SONGS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE NOT HEARD IN YEARS

      5 out of 5 stars If only there were more!.......2000-06-08

      I'll never forget the first time I heard Lady Killer. I was working at Radio Shack, we always had the radio on, and my attention was drawn to the song. My first response was "now THAT"S different!". I've been hooked since. I'm fortunate enough to own all of the Flash and the Pan CD's. I'm glad that a couple of them are available in the US again. Now if Vanda and Young would only record another! BTW, if you can find a copy of Burning Up the Night, BUY IT!

      5 out of 5 stars Cheerful and Danceable - A Biting Social Commentary.......2000-04-23

      Memory is an imperfect machine: we recall impressions much better than facts. After 20 years (1979), I remember Flash and the Pan's debut as a compilation of light danceable tunes with perceptive and engaging lyrics. Two decades later, I haven't changed my opinion: Vanda and Young bait the listener with sunny pop music, then trap him with captivating lyrics.

      The majority of music here is ideal for disco nights - cheerful and danceable (Hey St. Peter, Man In The Middle, Lady Killer, Hole In The Middle). The method which Flash uses to deliver the lyrics is also engaging. Vanda and Young sing-speak into an antiquated radio microphone. The effect is archaic and unearthly. Contrasting the hip danceable music, the lyrics are a far cry from "Let's get down and boogie." The character standing at the gates of Heaven (Hey, St. Peter) pleads with St. Peter that he has already spent his time in hell (New York City). `The African Shuffle' appears to be a blatant racist insult of Black (Donna Summer) disco music. More precisely, the song condemns the entire "turn-off your brain and just dance" doctrine. Again in `Lady Killer,' Flash belittles the male Caucasian elitist patrons of clubs such as Studio 54. Captain Black (see James `Blood' Ulmer - Tales Of Captain Black) accidentally destroys `California' with a misdirected ballistic missile. Filled with secrecy are the haunting `Walking In The Rain' (exploring sexual ambiguity) and `Down Among The Dead Men' (an irreverent tale of the Titanic).

      In the final cut (First And Last), Vanda and Young's world of selfishness and materialism is reborn with compassion and enlightenment. Flash and the Pan is unprecedented: a biting social commentary fabricated from the very music which it finds deploring.

      4 out of 5 stars Lou Reed meets John Carpenter?.......2000-02-02

      That's what it reminds me of, Lou Reed singing to the soundtrack from Escape from New York. (If you don't know this, John Carpenter generally writes his own soundtracks.) Enjoyable and demented. And these guys were tied into AC/DC, and as popular as the Beatles in their Easybeats incarnation? Australia is a very strange place.

      But, seriously, this is a cool and unique album. Nice to see it back in print in the US. My only quibble is the garage band production. Some of these songs would make GREAT covers. I'd love to hear, say, the Red Hot Chili Peppers cover "California."

      5 out of 5 stars Excellent Brings me Back to my Youth.......1999-06-08

      When I was 17 i listened to the album amillion Times and still do to this day, Thanks Amazon for finally letting me get this on Disc ! I agree that every song is a Gem, why this band never made a lasting impression among the New Wavers of the day is beyond Me. Now if I could only find their 3rd and last album on CD "Early Morning Wake up Call" Another great one !
