I'm totally behind in this thread, so some of this may have already been covered...
I was a sickly child of 15 lying in a hospital bed :p when I first heard the Tango album. My brother bought me the cassette and I listened to the album nonstop for the week that I was there. The songs I enjoyed most at the time were Christine's and I recall being initially very disappointed with all of Stevie's songs, especially Welcome to the Room...Sara, which I thought was a silly title. I did like When I See You Again but kept obsessing over how Lindsey changed " when I see you again" to " if I see you again," and not understanding why having little background on their relationship. I'm pretty sure I asked the nurse for her opinion.
I loved all the MTV coverage and how they played Fleetwood Mac videos all day until the new Big Love vid premiered. (I know I have the whole day taped on VHS somewhere because back in the day, that's all I did--watch and tape MTV for hours on end. Unlike other kids in my neighborhood, I didn't get a job, go to summer camp, or read 1984 and Brave New World for English class.) Mark Goodman was so into it all. And then a few months later the Little Lies videos hit #1 on their very unscientific video chart for like four weeks. :laugh: Any of you remember VJ Carolyn Helmond? She was so down to earth and an obvious Mac fan as well, loved her.
Someone mentioned remixes from the album. Looking back, they're kind of cheesy and dated (Mac never did find their niche on the dance floor). But I still like them in spite of their world music sound. Here are some remixes from the album.
Big Love (Single Remix)
There's way too much going on in this mix. But I like the mix over all because it sounds, well, big. :D I favor the remix's transitional solo to the bridge over the album's.
Seven Wonders (Remix Edit)
I edited the main remix years ago, adding the cool guitar part that Lindsey plays in the dub version.
Little Lies (Remix Edit)
This one starts with the dub intro and segues into the main remix, slightly edited.
Family Man (Remix Edit)
Pared down edit of the Extended Vocal Remix
