INXS "elegantly wasted" vinyl, 1997
from Lynne's vinyl collection
their tenth and final album with Michael Hutchence so i wont go any further than this one
a return of sorts to their so called 'classic' sound on this one
a distinct Rolling Stones sound on several songs album
so dance-rock/pop-gospel/funk-rock/acoustic and a ballad or two on here
a decent eclectic mix and i never knew any of the songs from this one previously
so it is really good to go into an album with no expectations or prejudices
and also a real surprise when an album you know nothing about is actually a winner.
**EDIT**
i guess there is one song i knew previously, my favourite, because it was part of the "face Off" Travolta/Cage soundtrack.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
