说明:
(2020) Berlin - Pleasure Victim [Expanded Edition]
Review:
…Released in 1982, Pleasure Victim found the California band (no Europeans here, despite the name) bouncing back from a few years of difficulties on the club scene. In 1979, lead singer Teri Nunn had left the band, leaving the rest of the group’s members to record a debut album with another vocalist. When Nunn rejoined, the group began to gain some momentum, especially when a 1981 single, the minimalist synth-rock tune “The Metro,” started gaining airplay on the nascent MTV. Not long after Pleasure Victim was recorded and released by the Enigma label, a second single, the vampy “Sex (I’m a…),” eventually garnered enough airplay to scrape the middle of the Billboard Hot 100. (A reissued “The Metro” notched a few spots higher in 1983; the group finally cracked the Top 40 in 1984 with “No More Words,” while 1986’s “Take My Breath Away,” from the blockbuster Top Gun, topped Billboard‘s singles survey.) Pleasure Victim, which ended up selling more than a million copies in America, is now remastered from the original tapes for the first time on CD, with the album doubled in length thanks to seven single and expanded remixes of “Sex (I’m a…),” “The Metro,” “Masquerade” and “Tell Me Why.”
