M+M, Martha And The Muffins - The World Is A Ball 30th Anniversary Edition
Review by Wendy Cox
The World Is A Ball 30th Anniversary Edition by M+M, Martha And The Muffins is a must-have for any fan of new wave and post-punk music. This album features a remastered version of the original album, as well as a bonus disc of rare and previously unreleased tracks.
The album's title track, "The World Is A Ball," is a standout with its catchy synth-pop melody and Martha Johnson's distinct vocals. "Women Around The World At Work" is another highlight, with its driving rhythm and socially conscious lyrics.
The bonus disc includes gems like "I'm No Good At Conversation" and "Echo Beach (Live)," showcasing the band's live energy and musicianship. The remastered sound quality is excellent, bringing new life to these classic tracks.
