This 1992 compilation released on Sire stands as the best introduction to Kid Creole & the Coconuts, a thrilling group that exemplified New York City's diverse cultural mix during the '80s. Kid Creole Redux reaches back to early Ze and Island singles like 1980's "He's Not Such a Bad Boy," 1981's "Going Places," and 1982's "I'm a Wonderful Thing, Baby," and it also includes cuts from the mid-'80s that saw the group reach its highest level of popularity ("My Male Curiosity," "Endicott"). Nobody knew exactly what Kid Creole & the Coconuts were -- that was part of the their charm. If there's one thing this group wasn't, it was a novelty. Whatever they were, they cranked out some humorous, rhythmic, vibrant pop music that has had no problem translating to the present. -- Andy Kellman (allmusic.com)
