Early live versions of four songs ("Red Light", "Animal Day", "Back in Flesh" and "Call Box (1-2-3)") are featured on the compilation '' The Index Masters''.

He continued, "Wall of Voodoo will need a better sense of the absurd to attain true strangeness. Here they just don't go far enough." In a later review from ''The Trouser Press Guide to New Wave Records'' (1983), Young stated that ''Dark Continent'' displayed "more polish" than the band's debut EP and benefited from "colorfully morose guitar and keyboards."

For some people, adventure becomes a major pursuit in and of itself. According to adventurer André Malraux, in his '' Man's Fate'' (1933), "If a man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?". Similarly, Helen Keller stated that "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." Outdoor adventurous activities are typically undertaken for the purposes of recreation or excitement: examples are adv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
