My personal crisis with China Crisis....

I recently went back and listened to an album by this group entitled "Diary of a Hollow Horse". I was again amazed by how good (and unrecognized) this group was/is. Aside from the fact that Walter Becker of Steely Dan produced most of their releases, they really didn't get much pub that I can recall.

Are there any other fans of China Crisis who might recommend some of their other releases? I did a search on Amazon and want to buy a couple more releases, but don't know which ones are the "best". Thanks.

I love China Crisis as well. Try "Difficult Shapes & Passive Rhythms", "Possible Pop Songs Vol 2", "Flaunt the Imperfection" and "Acoustically Yours". Try to find the english pressings if possible.

Hi,

I have to agree with Ktrogers. My favorite is "Flaunt the Imperfection" and it is superb.

I have two 12 inch remixes, the titles I have at home. If I remember correctly the unrelease B-sides were Pink Floyd-ish great.

Thanks for all the recommendations, especially FLAUNT THE IMPERFECTION. I used to like "Diary of a Hollow Horse" the best, until I bought this album. It's a solid album, but am not too surprised since Walter Becker produced it.
China Crisis was a very underrated band of the 1980's indeed.
