Finley Quaye - Maverick A Strike (CD 2001)

I bought it because i had a distant memory that I used to like a few songs when it first came out. I was young, was desovering myself, learning about my likes and dislikes. I am now fully grown and have an appreciation for my preferences and unfortunately; I have out grown this album. What was obviously a bit of a soul/ reggae period for me ( probably wanting to appear cool by the acknowledgement of Bob Marley being a 'happening' dope smoking chilled out dude. The tunes I used to pass for chilled out and interesting now are replaced by unusual and annoying. So if it's a trip down memory lane you're looking for plaese have a think of what your musical tastes have moved on to, if they are not slow, unusual semi-tuneful, semi-reggae, then I'd give it a miss

I didn't receive this CD!!!! I paid the money but didn't get it!! I made a dispute but nothing was done!!

What an album!!
Reggae vibes but with acid funk mixed in.
Really lets you chill out when you listen to this cd.
Even my 2 and 5 year old love it

A must have album. Truely inspirational !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i bought this cd for tha memories and after reading a review from a guy who realised after all these years he had grown out of the album i thought it would be an interesting listen to see how i felt. not only was i pleasantly surprised but certain in my prognosis. finlay pulls it off NICELY! his band too is amazing, a sound you don't really hear anymore from an era of great music the mid 90s. in regard to this neo-reggae malarkey, yea there are some moments you think, what you on about finlay, but musically this album is sound from beginning to end without flickin..and achieves the longevity with tracks mooching smoothly from one to tha next. finlays vocals are assured and covers well the scottish underbelly. now that quaye is off tha scene i think the anonymity adds to the album. so if you don't know who he is buy this album and enjoy something reminiscent but unique in its own right. 5/5

Everything about this album is brilliant, the style of the music, the way the album has been put together. would recomend it to anybody who likes funk/raggae. *****

I bought this CD as i have fond memories of listening to it about 10 years ago but unfortunatly some arse robbed it off me. Ever since then i kept wanting to replace it, then finally i bought it on Ebay for a couple of quid...

i like it because it`s chilled out and origional and even now, does not sound dated. If you like a contempary new age reggae sound this CD is definatly worth a punt!!!

Not just a reggae album as some may think but a generally, funky, classy, eclectic mix of music from Finley Q.
I used to have an old cassette tape of it that I played to death in the car. Was delighted to acquire a CD copy of this on Ebay and recommend the album to those who may like a little something different.

Finlay has dropped off the musical radar of late but in his heyday (at the time of this album) he presented a unique and thoroughly absorbing musical antidote to all manner of trash which was being peddled as "interesting" and "dynamic" in the musical press and which was, in fact, dull and wholly uninspiring. Get hold of this album if you enjoy well written, wonderfully produced, catchy and amusing lyrics. Don't buy it if you wouldn't know a good tune if one came up to you in the street and said " hello, I'm a good tune".

Wicked album.Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.

I just loved the CD fantastic thats all i can say its a shame finley hasent got anymore tunes out

i decided to buy this item as it reminds me of a good time i love the album, the artist and all the sogs. the quality of the album is great and i am vry pleased with my purchase.

This album made Finley Quaye a legend. Great songs, a must have for any collection. also checkout from 2004 - Much more than much love' "Dice" a collaberation with William Orbit is in my opinion one of his best songs yet. Buy it and be happy.
