Review  by

Blair Witch

This was Blondie`s 4th album.

Released in 1979, but it carries on in the minds of many, even today. The first track  `Dreaming` is a classic dance tune with a hint of disco.

Two other songs back to back, `Union City Blue` & `Shayla`, Seem to go hand in hand as the angelic reflective sound of `Shayla` puts the listeners into a trancing state.

`Accidents Never Happen` & `Die Young Stay Pretty` show tones of rebel punk & new wave style.

And of course another of the many tracks from that album that will always resonate in my soul, is the classic `I`m Not Living In The Real World`.

I think back to the early 80`s and I will always smile when I remember partying in the woods & eating to the beat. This is a very fun & mind stretching album. I definately recommend it.
