Numbered, Limited Edition! Mastered on Mobile Fidelity's World-Renowned Mastering System and Pressed at RTI!
1987 Pop-Rock Blockbuster A Seamless Fusion of Dance Beats, Sleek Riffs, Soaring Hooks, and Horn-Fueled R&B!
Spawned Four Top 5 Hits: “Need You Tonight,” “Devil Inside,” “New Sensation,” “Never Tear Us Apart” Are Pop Genius!
Mastered on Mobile FidelityÂ’s World-Renowned Mastering System and Pressed at RTI (America's Best Record Plant): Silver Label LP Sounds Incredible, Replete With Dynamic Midrange.
The last throes of ReaganÂ’s presidency, big hair, carefree existence, the promise of a booming economy, preppy clothes, Nintendo 8-bit gaming systems, and MTVÂ’s seemingly limitless reign: All happy memories conjured by INXSÂ’ Kick, on the creative level of anything Madonna, Prince, or Michael Jackson recorded at the time. More than six million copies sold, four Top 5 singles, and still, nearly 25 years later, not one feeble moment, justify the 1987 recordÂ’s status as pure pop genius.
Anchored by the sensual purr of vocalist Michael Hutchence and frisky drumming (recorded in analog) of Jon Farriss, Kick taps into a hybrid style that freshly stays away from the eraÂ’s plastic, manufactured sounds and narrow-minded, vacant aesthetic. A seamless fusion of dance beats, sleek rock riffs, soaring hooks, horn-fueled R&B, and string-laden accents, the 12-track set is an irresistibly catchy and liquidly fluid sonic miasma that contains every single element a classic contemporary pop work requires.
Above all, every song boasts a different feel and distinctive pace, characteristics that aren’t forced but natural results of the collective’s chemistry. The sexy, breathy pop-funk “Need You Tonight” clicks with interlocking arrangements and murmured vocals. The atmospheric, synth-drum-punctuated “Meditate” hallucinates with stream-of-conscious vocals and percolating grooves. Well-placed pauses, hypnotic flanged guitar passages, and so-funky-you’ll-sweat saxophone breaks pepper the liberating rock smash “New Sensation.”
INXS also kicks out upbeat dance-inflected jams on the brassy skirt-swaying title track, syncopated “Calling All Nations,” and elsewhere, but doesn’t forget the importance of a bleeding-heart ballad. Hence, the devastatingly moving “Never Tear Us Apart,” the knifing strings and guitar twang proving dramatic, direct, and honest. The late 1980s produced a handful of more commercially successful pop records, but none is better than Kick.
Mastered on Mobile FidelityÂ’s world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI (America's best record plant), Silver Label numbered limited edition LP presents INXSÂ’ studio masterpiece with the tremendous punch, transparent midrange impact, and involving depth the record has always deserved but, until now, never possessed. Textural details, HutchenceÂ’s creamy vocals, and FarrisÂ’ diversified percussion positively explode and engage in the manner that only the best pop-rock can.
