Big Audio

Higher Power (Columbia)
by Sheril Stanford

What is it with the name changes? Change a band member, change a name? Whatever they’re called, they’ve still got the Mick Jones sound from past discs: Clever, amusing, a melange of aural stimuli. There are sound effects galore: Dialogue excerpts, alarm clocks à la Pink Floyd, and more. But it’s not just slick tricks – Big Audio is still heavy on the dance beats… They’re still making music you can enjoy with your mind AND your body.
