Passion Polka - Obsessions

Review by Matluba Khan

Passion Polka's album, Obsessions, is a delightful fusion of traditional polka music and modern electronic beats. The album comprises eleven tracks, each one showcasing the band's exceptional musical prowess and creativity.

The album starts with the upbeat and lively "Polka Party," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's use of accordion, trumpet, and other traditional polka instruments adds a distinct flavor to the music, while the electronic beats and synthesizers give it a modern twist.

The album's title track, "Obsessions," is a standout with its haunting melody and catchy chorus. The band's use of vocal harmonies is particularly impressive, adding depth and emotion to the song.

Other notable tracks include "Polka Inferno," a high-energy dance number, and "Tango Polka," a beautiful fusion of tango and polka music. The album ends on a high note with "Polka Party 2.0," a remix of the opening track that is sure to get listeners up and dancing.

Surely this song was written and recorded after October 1983? The verse seems way too similar to Working With Fire And Steel by China Crisis to be a coincidence?

Reminds me of Diamonds in Southport...great pop songs. I'll dig out a few of my old cassettes and upload those. Including a great mixing desk tape from Diamonds in Southport in Dec 84...these will appear on the Pinetree Records channel -

Watch out for a live gig from Dec 84 at Diamonds in Southport, UK. I'll post in at
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA8A64tADzzv5_Bh8UrtKhA

should be there by early June 2020. Steve Cottier was a class act...they wrote great pop songs. One of the great misfortunes that most of these songs went unheard. Check out the Southport gig..all the classics live - ready Steve...Hypnosis...Education...In the Shadow...Just another dream...
