Dipped sweetly in the psychedelia of the sixties, this the first album from a mysteriously unknown artist, mingles simply folk guitar with astonishing lyrics about drugs, depression and inner city blues. Rodriguez’s distinct nasal voice ambles through a dozen simple tunes addressing the turbulent backdrop of America in the sixties and does so with such impressionable beauty that it has catapulted him into cult status in many far flung corners of the globe. Such is the demand, that both Cold Fact, and the second album Coming From Reality (re-released in 1976, in South Africa only, as After The Fact), have now been remastered on CD format, some 20 years later.For many, this album is one magnificent trip, lost in the haze of hippiness, and indeed the album is laced with narcotic references, but as far as talent goes, Cold Fact is a remarkable album perfect for idealists and dreamers. The obsessive I wonder, perhaps the best known of the album’s tracks, is a simple tune that mirrors the type of questions you’ve always wanted to ask of certain people and never had the courage, but it is the album’s ultra-trippy opening number, Sugar Man which really lends the album and air of intrigue. Others such as Crucify Your Mind, Jane S. Piddy and Forget It are both poignant and subtly beautiful.However, it is the album as a whole, it’s poetic lyrics and the bohemian fueled mystery surrounding it that makes it so appealing to several generations, even years after the artist signed off with the words thanks for your time, then you can thank me for mine and after that’s said, forget it.This album, in short, eventually becomes part of your lifestyle.by Andrew Bond.

09 I've Done It AgainLink to download:'This is THE best Grace Jones album which I first heard courtesy of my black stocking-clad friend Sarah Collins back in London UK in early 80's and it epitomises the dramatic world brought into view in 'Master and Servant' and 'shiny shiny leather' fetish clubs.Grace is ominous, parisienne, evocative and dangerous and makes other female singers look and sound like Barbie. From the outrageously visualised androgyne look on the cover to the non stop darkness of tracks. The percusion on this album is superb like Zang Tum Tumb clicks and bells and night 'cicada' sounds. Grace paints mind pictures here which long presaged her sinisterness in the Bond movie. She remains to this day truly mad, bad and dangerous to know and musically distinct from a smothering sea of vacuous bland female vocalists. For many years I ran my 'Open Channel D' radio show with clips of Grace as my virtual on air 'co-driver' on 'missions'. I can imagine GC as being good company in a fight or a fetish club.we need more women like this.
Buy this CD and shake up ur brain. She's as unique a voice and character as David Sylvian, Brian Ferry, Bert Jansch, David Bowie or similar unique talents.no one else like her and this is her best. Spies and agents in Parisian smog, cruising cars, gloss lipstick, shiny bodywork and guns girls and a bulletproof heart. Grace must have seen the Bond film coming what a shame they pitched her against a suited woos like Roger!!she should have been in The Matrix!! One of my favourites here is Libertango - (I've seen this face before) where Grace relates the tale of her shadowy parisienne stalker.
Ha, that's me - I was that black clad gumshoe in turned up collar coat under the pale art-deco lamplight. When Grace sings and snaps at you in French.zut alors.you know when you've been Tango'd!' 'In 1981, Grace Jones returned to the music scene with what was perharps her very best studio album, Nightclubbing. The Nightclubbing album certainly gained wide recognition from critics and was even voted as Album Of The Year by New Musical Express Magazine. Again Grace returned to the startling format of combining Reggae, Rock, New Wave, Funk and R&B.

The diverse, atmospheric arrangements are utterly compelling on all of these recordings. Nightclubbing opens with the hypnotic, trance-like Walking In The Rain.
Grace speaks and scowls through the entire recording and bizarre as it is, it still emerges as totally compelling with its blend of New Wave and Reggae. This leads into what is her ultimate classic with the fantastic, driving R&B/Funk tune, Pull Up To The Bumper. Grace Jones delivery is highly effective on this track and has such immediacy and an infectious feel. Pull Up To The Bumper eventually became a Top 20 seller in the U.K. Use Me is a catchy, highly effective reggae tune where Grace ignites the recording again with her diverse vocal approach whilst the title track, Nightclubbing is a bizarre cover of a David Bowie track. Synchronised sounds are combined with Graces stark delivery which surprisingly combine well together. Art Groupie is more dated sounding though still works whilst the subtle mixture of French jazz, new wave and reggae on the startling, I've Seen That Face Before is another compelling, though blatantly weird affair.
She conveys such spirit, fire and passion on her inspired re-working of Stings, Demolition Man. The strong Jamacian vibes on the interestingly experimental, Feel Up is another cracking affair but the ultimate surprise on the album is served with the late-night jazz number, I've Done It Again.

This lush, exotic number is given life by Graces exuberant delivery where I have honestly never heard her sing in such a soft soprano and sound so effeminate as on I've Done it Again.
