The Man Who's Gotten Everything !.......2007-07-03

Captain Sensible (diamond geezer, one of the best, blah blah), is in an admirably unique position.
For a start, his musical legacy is actually rather good. He produces sharp, warm little pop tunes at the drop of a beret, that DO stand up to close scrutiny . If you (like me) have a deep and profound understanding of everything to do with pop music, you'll spot very quickly that the trick here is to take him completely seriously.
This achieved, you can then begin to position him in pop's hierarchy, and of course start making sage pronouncements that he's better than Springsteen, solo Weller and Robbie Williams. Not really that startling when you think about it. Listen to `Martha the Mouth' and name me one song from the over-rated trinity aforementioned (yeay!) that's better than it. Cant do it can you? Don't worry, you've just challenged `absolute rock truths' number273, and triumphed easily. Feel good? Come on in, the waters fine.
Secondly he has a priceless punk pedigree as a guitar player in those evil masters of dark, dry- ice inhaling, satanic, manic, violent disorder (etc) the Damned! Gasp!
Think what you will, they were there first and deserve some respect for that, erm...and that's about all. Better than Chelsea....maybe.
Best of all in my opinion, is the fact he seems to have some sort of cod-philosophy, which he expounds slivers of every now and again, without ever having any intention (or intellectual ability!) of revealing its, obviously deeply subversive, ideology. This is absolutely brilliant! Imagine Madonna having-something-interesting-to-say-to-her-fans, or deadly serious rock kids NOT falling sound asleep every time Bono opens his mouth. You're imagining a bigger, brighter world.
He's embraced the pop deity, sold his soul to the fun-demon, and he's writing things like `And now the time has come to say, farewell dad and your baked-beans, and the tv set, that I blew.' in a song about selling out (the punk rockers' perennial dilemma) and moving to America! This, of course, aint NEVER gonna happen, but why he's not a bigger star mystifies me. Why has he not replaced Richard Madeley or Gordon Ramsey? Why don't we see him, mad as a badger, EVERY DAY!? Think how much better our kids would turn out, watch the crime figures plummet!
`And rice doesn't burn, in a Japanese urn, it's reality!' Is it just me? This stuff is terrific! Leaves you with a smile, and who, in this decade of total pop miserablism, is gonna knock that?
Madly looking forward to the dream duet of Sensible and that other neglected genius; John Shuttleworth. Seriously.

One geat song is missing.......2007-03-05

Where is ONE CHRISTMAS CATALOG!!!!! One Christmas Catalog is the best Captian Sensible songs out there and I heard it in a clothing store last Christmas. It should be on this cd and Happy Talk should be deleted.

Captain Sensible.......2005-09-30

I purchased this album as a mistake as it was the wrong "Captain" group. Best mistake I've made for quite a while. What a cracker. If you're a baby boomer like me and long for the music that rekindles your best times get this one. If there's a weak track I'd like to know which one it is.

Category of it's own.......2005-08-04

Captain sensible is inspired in his own english pop world.Happy,funny,absurd,ironic and melodic songs.Some are good some are bad,but still essential for the 80's.Listen to the sublime and divine"Glad It's all over"over and over again.

WE WILL TAKE IT, BABY!.......2004-04-15

Yeah, OK, it's not complete but.... with an artist as prolific as Captain Sensible, how could one disc ever hope to capture all of his incredibly exceptional output? there's NO WAY! The Capt'n was so sly in his ability to write a pure pop song and make it sound dangerous (with D. Vanian) or innocuous/affecting in his solo ventures. It's just unbelievable that his cover of "Relax (Don't Do It)" wasn't included! I play that on my turntable at parties in Palm Desert and the reaction is, to say the least, enthusiastic. The movie dialogue from "Coma" is especially cool, nobody can ever place it, yet this is a song that will dwell in obscurity forever it seems. Finally, I must say that these A&M songs were being held captive FOR YEARS by his former American label, and they were EXTREMELY reluctant to let go of them, for whatever reason. Legal eagles always seem to get in the way of art. But the scarcity of these songs make this disc all the more essential. The fact that they are reissued at last on CD is a pure revelation and those that have even a passing knowledge of The Damned should take advantage. And, the choice producer Tony Mansfield (the first to capture Ray's pop sensibility and expand on it!) should get credit as well for an incredible ear. I have bought no less than 11 copies of this CD for close friends and every single one of them have been overwhelmed by the Captain cornucopia on display, and the dividend pays overwhelming rewards. Ignore that awful Cleopatra "best of" comp at all costs. In my opinion, this comes closest to capturing Sir Burns' spirit, verve and intrepid endeavors. Cheers to the Captain and his incredible creative output during the 1980's - Dude, you're immortal. Too bad Rat couldn't take the heat.

Great idea.......2006-02-01

The conceit is music associated one way or another with the great artist Francisco Goya. Stylistically it ranges from early 19th century Fernando Sor to the prominent modern composer and educator Angelo Gilardino.
The idea works very well as a concept, and I think it would work as well as a recital program.
Unfortunately, William Feasley cannot really pull it off. Some of this music is very technically difficult, and Feasley often finds himself on very thin ice. Anyone who has heard Julian Bream's recording of transcriptions of Albeniz and Granados is bound to be disappointed (for example) by Feasley's renderings of excerpts from
"Goyescas".
Still, as an intermediate guitarist who could stand to learn more about repertoire, finding the "Caprichos de Goya" by Castelnuovo-Tedesco was a delight.
I would recommend this album to anyone who would appreciate a well-constructed program of interesting music, who is not going to be put off by the more than occasional clams and errors.

I said 'Captain....'.......2001-11-21

'He said, 'wot?'
We heard this song in Amsterdam played over a channel selection guide on TV and it literally took me years to track it down. Yes, the rest of the album is bizarre, but this song was in my head for so long. I'm thrilled/relieved/deliriously happy to finally have it on disc to play endlessly. And relive Amsterdam.

The first couple of reviewers are complete Doo Doo Heads.......2001-03-24

Well, just that . They are Doo Doo heads. They know nothing about great music. Unlike Captain,who is not a Doo Doo head and makes the best music there is . This album is great. Wankers Away ! And What's the gripe about sound quality? Hell,I can hear it!!

Oh well, at least Captain got some cash for it..........2000-08-25

It's a truly unfortunate state of affairs when this is the best collection of Captain's early work on CD.

Since I'm not too big a fan of the newer stuff, I bought this for the old stuff and was left wanting for it. The sound quality is awful and the songs mostly unrecognizable. At this point I'm about ready to buy a CD-Recorder and a turntable so I can put my old Captain vinyl on CD-R.

Too bad too, as this way, no one really comes out happy...

Not A Sensible Choice.......1999-01-18

Fans of the Captain beware. Although this album's title suggests these are original recordings, most of them are from live performances. If you're looking for the brilliant and hilarious original studio versions of songs like "Glad It's All Over," "Smash It Up Part IV," and "Happy Talk," this is not the album to buy. Cleopatra Records ought to be ashamed of itself for such blatant false advertising.

Poor Recording.......1998-09-03

Due to the Captain's disputes with his former record label, there is no other way to get the good Captain's early solo music than to get it on a live recording. This compilation offers many of those early titles, but the recording and music quality is so poor, it does not even sound like the Cap. My advise: wait for a better compilation, there are enough fans of the Captain to get the old stuff away from his old record label.

...Thought that isn't saying much. Bungarten demonstrates precisely no grasp of the music on this record, and turns a fantastic, and epic, work for guitar into yet another reason why the classical guitar is treated like the red-headed step-child of the classical world. Avoid.

This CD will be one of your best purchases ever. Seriously, the whole range of Captain Sensible's many talents are on display on Revolution Now. Captain is one of the most underrated musicians/song writers around. But I am encouraged. Word of his genius is increasingly getting around.

One of Captain's best.......1999-06-06

Captain's thrid album very good worth the cash full of syths and poppy toons.
