Disco de Martika: “Best of Martika: More Than You Know”

I only bought this C.D. on a whim, and before this i had never heard any Martika other than her cover of 'I feel the Earth Move'. And now she is one of my favourite artists.

'I feel the Earth move' is a really loud and appropriately OTT rock/club song. Very different from her usual relaxed style. Has fantastic dance appeal.

'More Than You Know' a nice love song over funky disco.

'Toy Soldiers' a very slow and dark song about addiction.

'Water' a very intelligent love song with a nice Latino feel.

'Martika's Kitchen' Now this one's a bit silly and the sex element is overdone, but it's a fun track with a wonderful beat!

'Love..thy Will Be done' This is my favourite track on the album. A nice religious power-ballad with beautiful violin strings, and a sexual rhythm. Beautiful lyrics about love and need sung really soothingly. Sounds a bit like the Cocteau Twins.

'Coloured Kisses' a nice song for making out to, or for waking up.

'Cross My Heart' another OTT one, but a lot more sincere. Another nice disco sound.

'Spirit' Pretty moderate religious dance song.

'Temptation'- wonderful lyrics describing a love obsession.

'Don't Say You love me'- I don't like this one, the music's too fast and out of key.

'Safe In the Arms of love'- simmilar to 'Love...thy Will Be done' a nice slow and soothing love song.

And after her greatest hits, the C.D. chronicles her numerous remixes.

'More than you know'- a slightly longer version of the original, but little different.

'I Feel The Earth Move' a pretty poor remix, it sounds weak compared to the original.

'Toy Soldiers' Not so much a remix as a foreign version. Something about Martika singing in Japanese really turns me on!

'Love..Thy Will Be done'- At first i avoided listening to this song because i thought it would spoil the original, but when I gave it a chance, I was pleasantly surprised, with a really sexy Hip-Hop beat, it is perfect for slow dancing. This version sounds more like Cibo Matto than the Cocteau Twins.

All in all a wonderful collection of songs. Perfect for dancing, perfect for making love to, Perfect.

A beautifull girl like the sunshine , Martika scored a well-deserved top 5 hit back in the late 80's with " Toy Soldier " , an elegant pop song which hasn't lost any of it's charm with the pass of time . A best of though with selected tracks from her ( only ) two albums is available for the buyer more as a memory of a era now remembered with nostalgia than as an essential music proposition . Undersold cd-single " Martika's Kitchen " and especially the deep , ethereal love-song of " Love..thy will be done " also worth revisiting but still are not enough to support the release of sixteen-track collection .

Hi Folks,

If you have not listened to or purchased Martika's music, I recommend it highly. Martika is back with a totally new look, sound, and wow...an exciting new site, which replaced her old one. I'm sure the prices of these CD's are going to go up very soon...buy them now...Her new project is called OPPERA.

Martika's music comes from the heart and seems to be where the best #1's come from. Her first album titled, Martika, hit on so many levels, drugs, love, people, sex, etc..., but when all was said and done, I have never witnessed so many people wishing her return.

All of her CD's are worth the $$ and the experience. Most importantly - we can all relate to her music - it's a small world where we all fall down at one point or another, but we brush ourselves off and get back up again! Happy listening!
