McLaren plays Colonel Pinkerton and leaves the aria alone backed by hip-hop percussion, and the result is a seamless whole. The rest of the album, unfortunately, exists to pad out the single, and the various arias from Carmen and Turandot seemed dropped on top of what are some embarrassing funk R&B grooves. Only Lauretta from Puccini's opera Gianni Schicchi gets close to a successful second try. Look for the 12 single instead. Released: Jan 1984. Label: Charisma Catalogue. Malcolm McLaren was more idea man than music maker. On this 1985 set, he combines the storylines and arias from famous operas with hip-hop and slick synth-era R&B. If everything was as flat-out brilliant as the single Madame Butterfly, this would be one of the key albums of the 1980s. Unfortunately, only Boys Chorus comes close the rest of the material is impressive sounding but not truly memorable.
