Swing like it does
Nowhere is that more telling then in the lead song on the disc, the bittersweet tale of interracial romance "Original Sin. The fourth album from INXS was, along with "Shabooh Shoobah," where they really began to explore their voice as a band. " Causing more than a little controversy at the time of its 1984 release, it both celebrates love and shatters idealism, all in the context of Nile Rodgers' "Let's Dance" styled production. It was a bold move and was worthy of the attention it attracted.

But then, the band further experimented. In addition to the funky "Original Sin," there was the spacey "Johnson's Aeroplane" (which I thought, for years, was called "Japanese Garden"), the quirky "I Send A Message" and the soulful "Burn For You. " It was still a mild mannered affair if you compare it to the harder rocking (and more popular) "Kick," but next to that breakthrough album, this is probably my favorite INXS album.
