Liza Minnelli (daughter of Judy Garland) came a long way to become the stage legend throughout her career. Her teaming with dance/disco producers Neil Tennent and Chris Lowe (Pet Shop Boys) in the late 80s became an iconic moment for her talent. Taking Liza into their dance realm and utilizing the presence of a somewhat reluctant subject they transformed her Broadway roots into a pop-masterpiece. Blending her as a subject for themes and ideas for each of the tracks for the project titled “Results” was fabulously executed. “Don’t Drop Bombs” is a brilliant transformation of Liza asking her cheating lover to cease with the pain and although it was always clear that something was never quite right - she is ready to fight back and let go. The electronic arrangement explodes, literally over and over with clever riffs and moments where one wonders if the energy takes Liza into a very comfortable place.
I have taken the 12” vocal, instrumental and dub of “Don’t Drop Bombs” and reignited the song for a new ReStructure Mix. A layout which plays out for more new segues and drop-outs are created for this kitschy number.
