Details Release Date: Apr 24, 2001; Lead Performance: Kisty Maccoll

Even the tragedy of Kirsty MacColl's death in a boating accident last December can't lessen our pleasure in the wit of her work. Tropical Brainstormcaptures her earnest fascination with Latin music, but it's just as much a product of her dry British humor. As usual, her songs express endless disappointment in love matched to melodies that won't quit. Just one thing: Don't buy only this, but everything she's recorded, so this great, lost writer's memory can live on.
