Title: Club Ninja: One Club I Won't Join
Product review: Continuing the downhill slide that began with "The Revolution By Night", BOC sprang "Club Ninja" on the world back in '86. Longtime keyboardist-guitarist Allen Lanier (who these days looks worse than Keith Richards) was smart enough to stay away this time out. There's also a lot of outside songwriting on this LP, which wouldn't bother me if the songs were decent, but they're not. What we have here is one good song ("Perfect Water"), one decent outside-penned "Burnin' For You" re-write ("Dancin' In The Ruins") and a whole lot of songs that aren't even worth mentioning. Why Koch reissued this turkey over the also-out-of-print (and far superior) "Imaginos" is anybody's guess. The two songs I mentioned are on the "Workshop Of The Telescopes" CD compilation, so there's no reason to go near "Club Ninja".
