Union Square Music’s 30th Anniversary Madness reissue campaign continues with Keep Moving, the band’s fifth – and possibly most mature – album.
Its release, in 1984, was tinged with sadness, as it would be the band’s last offering with the original line-up until 1999’s ‘Wonderful’ comeback. That said, the album and the songs on it did not suffer and some consider ‘Keep Moving’ to be Madness’s most sophisticated album, dealing with issues of homelessness, politics and spousal abuse in typically sensitive fashion.
The original album features the hit singles ‘Michael Caine’ (which few knew at the time to be about the plight of IRA informants) and the fantastically melancholy ‘One Better Day’. The bonus tracks include some of Madness’s best-loved songs: ‘Wings Of A Dove’ and ‘The Sun And The Rain’ proving that Madness, at this point in their career, were just as life-affirming as they ever were.
Rezensionen
"KEEP MOVING stand immer im Schatten des Vorgängers.
Mit seinem teils jazzigen Grundsound ist
es jedoch als Weiterentwicklung zu sehen
und enthält einige starke Songs, darunter
die Singles "Michael Caine" und
"One Better Day". Höhepunkt
auf der Bonus-CD ist die von karibischen
Steeldrums unterlegte Non-Album-Single
"Wings Of A Dove", einer der besten
Madness-Songs überhaupt"(GoodTimes 04 / 2010)
“An album of wit, warmth and sophistication, Keep Moving is Madness at their best.” – Phill Jupitus
