Classic Albums. Hosted by Stevie Nix
Not all albums stand the test of time, but plenty do and Australian music critic Stevie Nix will bring one to you each week. He'll cover all eras and most genres and tell you why each record is so revered and, equally, why it deserves to be. And he only uses six songs to do it.

Introducing The Hardline According To ... by Terence Trent D'Arby

Produced largely by Martyn Ware of Heaven 17, Introducing The Hardline… fused crisp ‘80s production with a deep reverence for classic R&B. It channelled the ghosts of James Brown, the finesse of Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, and the theatrical edge of Prince, yet somehow never felt derivative. Critics marvelled at D’Arby’s “soul ventriloquism”, his ability to summon these influences with uncanny ease, while still sounding brand new. And the public embraced him just as quickly — the album’s run of hits, from its passionate breakout single to its chart-topping transatlantic success, turned him into a phenomenon.
