Carnes, Kim
Barking At Airplanes
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 1985 Original With Custom Inner Sleeve. Gold Promo Stamp & Score Mark Across Top Right Corner. Hype Sticker On The Shrink Wrap. “No Matter How Hard She Tried -- And She Tried Very, Very Hard -- Kim Carnes Couldn't Get Either Voyeur Or Café Racers, Her Two Follow-Ups To Mistaken Identity, Into The Consciousness Of The Audience That Flipped For "Bette Davis Eyes." There Were Some Hits Along The Way, But They Were Minor Ones. Clearly, It Was Time For A Change, And For 1985's Barking At Airplanes, She Broke From Convention, Stepping Up To The Boards To Co-Produce The Record. This Was The Change That Was Needed, As It Resulted In A Cohesive, Consistent Album -- The Best She Made Since Mistaken Identity. Although There Are Elements Of Post-New Wave Pop, Arena Rock, Adult Contemporary, And Dance Evident Throughout The Album, They're Fused Together Into A Sleek, Insistent Sound. This Isn't Entirely Different From What Other Artists Of Her Style And Era Were Doing At The Time -- This, Indeed, Sounds Like What Adult-Oriented Pop Of The Mid-'80s Sounded Like -- But It Fits Carnes Very Well, Not Just Because Her Great Voice Sounds Ideal In This Setting, But Because She Does This Music Very Well. A Welcome Comeback, And It's Stood The Test Of Time As One Of Carnes' Best Records.” Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG.
