A New-Wave Touchstone: 1983 Sophomore Album Picks Up on Momentum of Bands Debut
Contains Top 10 Hits Its A Mistake and Overkill
Spectacular Sonics: Mastered on Mobile Fidelitys World-Renowned Mastering System and Pressed at RTI
Men at Work already had an album in the Top Ten when the Australian ensemble released Cargo, which continued the momentum gained by its record-setting debut. As ambitious and even more diversified than its initial salvo, the 1983 effort firmly established the band as new-wave pioneersa group whose goofy playfulness, sharp hooks, brass accents, and memorable choruses helped define the decades landscape. Any doubts about Men At Works quirky sensibility were promptly answered by the iconic cover art gracing this multi-platinum set.
Mastered on Mobile Fidelitys world-renowned mastering system and pressed at RTI, this LP not only brings the artwork back into full-scale glory but also takes the enjoyably melodic pop-rock to new sonic heights courtesy of improved imaging, separation, and balance. Previously obscured details jump to the surface, and leader Colin Hays unique voice takes on life-like dimensions that hover between the speakers.
While remaining true to the approach that garnered them a Grammy Award for Best New Artist, Men at Work expands the creative palette on Cargo by giving guitars a more prominent role and increasing the rhythmic textures. With the sweeping ballad Overkill and politically savvy cynicism of Its a Mistake, the band furthered their radio domination and extended their run of Top 10 singles. A third hit, Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive, cracked the Top 30. Well-tailored melodies and whimsical imagination definitely had a place in the publics consciousness, and no group understood this more.
As the final album captured by the original lineup, Cargo remains an indelible piece of the 1980s audio terrain and a reminder of the eras endless fun. Bolstered by lively saxophone solos, self-effacing humor, and instantly catchy refrains, the album is as good an excuse as any to turn on the stereo, sit down, forget your worries, and dance to leisurely pursuits so perfectly captured by this beloved group.
