I used to own the cassette and I lost it somewhere awhile back. Seeing the cd on Amazon I had to order it.
The cd as whole I find disappointing but I sure like the song 'The Friends of Mr. Cairo'. This song is worth the price of the cd. It is a story of a ganster shoot out. The sound of a machine gun firing mixed with vocals and a catchy beat makes the song. And the cd sounds way better on my stereo than the cassette.
Has anyone else heard this song, and what do you think about it?

The song is by Vangellis and I also think its great. I like to softer part after the gunfire is finished and the story told. I listened to this song alot in the 80s and still throw it on once and awhile. I have it on album and mp3.

:yes:



It had such severe overplay on the radio in this area I never had any interest in that album.
