Product Description
Part new, part material lifted from her previous, self-produced release 'Inky Blotters', 1988's 'Dark Adapted Eye' really ran the gamut, from new wave ('Cat House') to bizarre punk disco ('Big Hollow Man'; 'Fizzy Human Bomb'; 'Flashback') to psychedelia ('Yummer Yummer Man') to even, believe it or not, roots music ('Bad Miss 'M''; 'Touch Piggy's Eyes'). Challenging, yes, but gobs of fun, 'Dark Adapted Eye' has aged particularly well in today's multi-culti pop world. Includes seven bonus tracks!


1. Cat House
2. Big Hollow Man
3. White Knuckle Ride
4. When I Was Young
5. Yummer Yummer Man
6. Fizzing Human Bomb
7. Whistling for His Love
8. Flashback
9. Inky Bloaters
10. Brimstone in a Barren Land
11. Bad Miss 'M'
12. Touch Piggy's Eyes

Bonus Tracks
13. House-Cat
14. Bed Caves
15. Sleep Has No Property
16. Hammerheads
17. Pariah
18. Where the Flies Are
19. Funtime

[bigred]Blast The Human Flower[/bigred]

Product Description
For an album that's supposed to be her major label sell-out, 'Blast the Human Flower' certainly has its share of adventures, but then nothing in Danielle Dax's oeuvre is easily pigeonholed. Her cover of 'Tomorrow Never Knows' was the flashpoint for her harsher critics, but its Oriental exotica fit right in with her love of Indian bhangra music. And for every 4-4 rocker ('The ID Parade'), there's a mysterious folkie number ('Daisy') or atonal electronics ('Bayou'). The album didn't sell a lick, resulting in Sire's dropping Dax, and Dax departing the music business, but it's another absorbing listen from one of the most intriguing female figures of the 80s.


1. The ID Parade
2. Tomorrow Never Knows
3. Big Blue '82
4. Bayou
5. King Crack
6. Daisy
7. Dead Man's Chill
8. The Living And Their Stillborn
9. Jehovah's Precious Stone
10. 16 Candles

The "bonus tracks" on Dark Adapted Eye also appeared on the Sire version of this CD back in 1988. Too bad they couldn't have added some of her remixes or UK-only tracks to these. Still, it's nice to see these back in print. Dax's music is an acquired taste but she's worth checking out.

I'm a long-time fan, too. Glad to see any reissues of her work. Now if they could reissue "Jesus Egg That Wept" with extra tracks.
