The three electronic, hip-hop-influenced albums Herbie Hancock recorded during the 1980s--of which Future Shock was the first, followed by Sound System and Perfect Machine--have been the most maligned by fans of his enormously influential '60s-era jazz work. The reissue of all three albums, each newly remastered with bonus mixes and new liner notes, makes it clear Hancock was much more than simply a jazz pianist reaching for a pop crossover audience. To be sure, Hancock got his pop hit with Future Shock's "Rockit," and there's plenty on Future Shock that sounds dated, from the early 80's synthesizer tones to the almost consciously stiff-sounding hip-hop beats that permeate every track. But dig a little deeper, and it's clear this is supremely intelligent dance music, with a combination of producer-bassist Bill Laswell's Kraftwerk-influenced industrial production and Latin percussionist Daniel Ponce's Bata drum, Pete Cosey's screeching guitar--which echoes his work with Miles Davis's 1970s band--Sly Dunbar's rock-solid funk drumming, and Grand Mixer D.S.T.'s radical (for the time) turntable scratching. And, of course, there's "Rockit", the track that introduced a generation of young listeners to Hancock and break-dancing robots in music videos. All in all, a reissue well worth revisiting. --Ezra GaleCustomer Reviews:
I, Robot.......2007-01-26
Future Shock was a new sensation when released in early 1983, as Herbie Hancock (and his Rockit band) & Bill Laswell teamed up to deliver electronics with funk, fusion and a sprinkling of avant-garde.
Rockit garnered a Grammy award for best R&B instrumental performance, while the video captured five awards - including Video of the Year - in the first MTV Video Music Awards show.
The CD has five cuts sandwiched between Rockit and Rockit (Mega Mix), the latter not on the original release. A true gem is Future Shock, a Curtis Mayfield composition. Earth Beat and Rough pump the funk through the speakers, while Hancock lets the jazz notes do the talking in T.F.S. and Autodrive.
That the collaboration of Hancock and Laswell was unable to reproduce the magic in subsequent releases speaks greatly about the quality found in Future Shock.
Is it HERBIE or is it LASWELL?.......2006-08-10
The bonus track is not so great........2006-05-19
However... the bonus track is not very good at all. It really seems like a lame attempt to take up time on the CD. What it is is another version of Rockit with tons of extra (and might I add, profane) sound bites and samples piled on top of the mix. On my player I always skip this track. But the rest is still pretty cool in my humble opinion.
Excellent, risk taking album from Herbie Hancock.......2006-04-10

CLASSIC ROCK OF THE 80s.......2007-05-17
Again if you're collecting great rock albums, this is one you shouldn't miss! This is a great album! Ian Gillan was still young and can sing very high notes. You can hear Bernie Torme screeching guitar in most of the songs. Man he's great in making the guitar weep and scream! These are some reasons why he had a short stint with Ozzy after Rhandy Rhoads died.
I've seen this group in early eighties in the Philippines during their tour. What a great band! Each member of the band did their piece in the concert.
Mr. X on the bass, he's a good bass player and he's one of those guys who threw the guitar on air and comes back to his hand striking the chords with all his might. Mr. Y the drummer did a solo too, he's great too. At that time I thought he was Ian Paice coz they were headlined as Deep Purple before coming to the Philippines.
Some of their excellent albums are: Mr. UniverseMr. Universe and Double TroubleDouble Trouble
Others are mediocre albums: Clear Air Turbulence[, Child In TimeChild in Time, Magic and Glory Road[ASIN:B000NA2U46 Glory Road]]
Rocks greatest singer finally gets remastered !.......2007-05-17
Edsel (the label these are on) has done an outstanding job on these reissues . The remastered sound is awesome , the bonus tracks are excellend and the booklets are top notch !
This one , "Future Shock" is one of Gillan's finest moments . The 10 songs from the original release are all first rate classic rock n roll songs . There are no filler songs here . There is also 8 bonus tracks included . They are singles and b sides of singles and once again , these are not fillers , they are all first rate songs . This is really a very strong cd from start to finish.
The guitar player , Bernie Torme , is fantastic on this release , he has a great unique sound .
The booklet has a 1 page note from Mr. Gillan himself , it has great historic liner notes , the lyrics to the original release songs and one of the bonus tracks and some great pictures and artwork.
If you never listened to Gillan's solo material , this is a fine place to start , you won't be disapointed .

Very good CD!.......2007-03-28
Well, I had this a long time ago but it got stollen. I am about to order another copy because I love the song "Freak of Nature". The rest of the CD is pretty good too, with awesome sounds. I never heard of them besides owning the album when I randomly bought it off the internet because it was cheap. I was very shocked! (no pun intended!) The little 30 second clips you are listening to don't do this CD justice. These guys are really good and are terribly underated. I was really hoping they'd have another CD by now. Just pick this one up and give it a shot, it's like super cheap.

They are an Awsome Band.......2004-02-24
Another thing that I didn't like was that they try to go and copy the image of Marilyn Manson like China he wants copy the image of Twiggy Ramirez though there both cute.
I own the CD and I thought that it was great but not as great as Marilyn Manson.

Album Details
Before They were Bailter Space They were Known as the Gordons and Released a Self Titled Album and the Future Shock EP in 1981. They Are Compiled on this Flying Nun CD. This Disc is Hard to Find Outside Australia! If You Are a Bailter Space Fan You have Got to Hear this Disc!Customer Reviews:
I think it's the NZ band here.......2005-09-18
I'm talking about the 10-song, 50-minute, Flying Nun reissue on one CD of the post-punk band Gordons (no definite article) that brings their circa-1981 eponymous debut album and a three-song ep Future Shock together on an import. The three musicians who I believe are identical to those who later founded the more streamlined, if equally corrosive, assault of Bailter Space here begin as disciples of Wire, and secondarily, Joy Division.
It's not bad if you like post-punk gloom, but some songs (like track 6, Growing Up) go on way too long with little to recommend them. Track 2, Right on time, is an outstanding, nearly-vocal-less tune that shows how the three could extend into a mesmerizing groove a phenomenally catchy, yet doom-laden, riff. Another song that stands out is the title track, track 8, of the ep appended to the album; although less inventive than track 2, it does show the group beginning to break free of their influences. It's nowhere near the folkier, DIY Flying Nun bands, by the way. They were labelled "noise-rock" at the time, but this is not Xpressway-type guitar meltdown, but more a halfway point between the meditative melancholy of the very early 80s scene and an effort at a more rhythmic, sonically dense and textured attack, which Bailter Space would more fully gain control of over its subsequently long career and many records.
Very much the effort of followers rather than creators; this is not a criticism so much as a snapshot of how the New Zealand scene began to internalize the restlessly dismal British tension into what became in the Kiwi-driven janglier melodies of the 80s a recognizably original aesthetic approach to lo-fi and high-concept music that was truly an alternative that remains inspirational today. Recommended for post-punk lovers, New Zealand completists, and, of course, Bailter Space fans.

Major Disappointment! :(.......2007-06-01
Now if only someone out there would release a double/triple cd set of full 12" versions of all the classic electro with studio quality!
excellent.......2006-07-03
Great music YES, great quality NO.......2006-04-22
I bought this cd for replacing my own recordings on tape and original vinyl, only to find out that even my 20 years old tapes are in better shape than this cd. Oke, the dub-version of the "Return of Captain Rock" sound fine, but the (only 3:58 long) vocal version sounds like something played on My first Sony...
To make this long story short, a great collection with a very, very poor soundquality and not worth your hard earned bucks!
