Title: She Blinded Me With Science....
Review: ...leave it to Joni to be right in it all even 15 years after the fact. This is Joni's Ray-gun Era protest album. If you remember, televangelists were found to be bilking millions out of their members, the Dynasty lifestyle of conspicuous consumption was in vogue and cigarettes could still be purchased from the old mechanical pull-knob machines. Fast forward to 2000--Rod Stieger still does a pretty good self righteous reverend and holy hope is still "in the hands of snakebite evangelists and racketeers and bigwig financiers". And it is still Dog Eat Dog, more of us have waken up... And, in all, Joni's experimenting with the likes of Synthesizer Scientist, Thomas Dolby has produced enduring music that the techno/trance/trip/hip/deejay crowd should take note of especially for the way she and her collaborators were innovating. Watch out for vocalists Michael McDonald and James Taylor and saxophonist Wayne Shorter in various cuts.
