  Men at Work - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Their first album, 1982's Business as Usual, set a record for the most weeks at number one on the U.S. charts for a debut album.
The band's second album, 1983's Cargo, was somewhat less successful, reaching number three on the U.S. charts and certified with 3 million sales in the United States.
When their third album, Two Hearts, was released in 1985 to relatively little success (only 500,000 copies sold in the United States), guitarist Ron Strykert left the band and then he was followed by keyboards and Saxophone player Greg Ham.

 Cargo discography
If this had been the Cargo album alone, it might have gained another halfstar but the bonus tracks are from their previous group called September actually ruin (a bit) the wholeness of the album.
On Cargo itself there is no flaws at all if it was not that this is a lone album and a pity they only made this one.
They "only" did one album (and apparently some singles and stuff...note the bonus tracks 8 tracks to be exactly!!)...but what an album.....the driving force of the two guitarplayers and the solid back-up of the bass and drum.

 William Orbit Information
Don't let that discourage you though, there are some particularly wonderful tracks on this album and due to it's varied mix it is a good album to listen to when you want something that chops and changes around in style.
This is an interesting album in that it veres between ambient and an almost popular style from track to track.
That said this album is a continuation of a gradual shift in William's music to a more beat oriented and slightly brooding style.

 Men at Work : Cargo - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Cargo was bashed out fairly quickly, but its release was delayed because of the success of Men at Work's debut, Business as Usual.
Though it was recorded on the road, Cargo is considerably more diverse -- but not necessarily more ambitious -- than its predecessor.
Despite this growth, the remainder of Cargo is weighed down by filler.

A few new tunes from Vadim's new album are performed, and then Vadim teases the crowd with some snippets of the great club banger 'The Terrorist' feat.
Mary Anne then returns to the stage with the rest of the Russian Percussion and they perform a song I believe is from the new album titled "Soul Searching" her voice is perfectly suited to the song.
I'm greeted by 6/7 minicab drivers at the exit of Cargo, and am whisked off home in the chubby one's car who after a short debate is apparently the cheapest.

 The History of Rock Music. Sofa Surfers: biography, discography, reviews, links
Cargo, the band's unnerving and astounding debut album, plotted a course from Crooklyn dub ("Container") and Ital wisdom ("Sweat") to Massive Attack-ish future-funk trip-hop ("The Low Rider") and avant-metal Rastafarian hip-hop ("Beans and Rice").
The remix album, Constructions, magnified Cargo's oppressive hydroponic power with dubs and reworkings by such sun-shy, sunken-cheeked masters of the out-there, slo-mo roller as Spectre, Mad Professor, Howie B and Eardrum.
This album features one track apiece (and one of them a remix, no less!) from their first two albums, Transit and Cargo, but features almost the entirety of their never-domestically-released third album Encounters -- all but three out of thirteen tracks.

 Darko Rundek & Cargo Orkestar info
In 1997 Darko Rundek presented his first album under the name 'Apocalypso' with the collaboration of about twenty musicians: a true kaleidoscope of different styles, and which was widely appreciated by public and critics alike.
In 2004 the album 'Ruke' (Hands) was released with musicians who came together to form Darko Rundek and Cargo Orkestar and who co-wrote some of the compositions.
The new album by Darko Rundek and Cargo Orkestar “Mhm A-ha Oh Yeah Da-da“, an original PIRANHA release from 2006, tells of the loneliness of the exile and the placelessness of the Internet, the reality of modern metropolis and the utopia of a love that transcends all borders.

 Deus ex machina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Smashing Pumpkins album MACHINA/The Machines of God (followed by an internet-only release MACHINA II/The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music) took its title from an abbreviation of the phrase.
Frontman Billy Corgan wrote the concept album based on the media's exaggerated characterization of the band members.
Deus Ex Machinae is also the name of the first album released by the SID metal band Machinae Supremacy.

 Fufkin.com: Kurt Sampsel Reviews: September, 2001
Possibly intended as a concept album of sorts, a common theme throughout the album is that of childhood and the disillusion of growing up.
This album is easily one of the most eclectic records to have emerged from the late 60s.
The release of the resulting album was delayed due to contractual disagreements between Koppelman and Rubin and Capitol, but eventually released in early 1969.

 Daily Vault - October 9, 2003
Cargo sounds rushed at many points in the album, and though it does have some great moments on it, one wonders what could have been had the band received more time to work on it.
While this might not be fair to Cargo -- indeed, the band does experiment more here than they did on their debut -- it does happen nonetheless.
Truth be told, had Cargo been released as the debut, chances are Men At Work would never have reached the level of success they did enjoy.

 Gnosis Ratings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Cargo was a Dutch band that released this apparently, now highly sought after album in 1972.
Sounding quite similar to countrymen Golden Earring, Cargo unfortunately lacked the technical and creative musicianship of that band, and this ends up being little more than mundane, long-winded guitar rock with some psychedelic tinges.
If you simply can't get enough of that early 70s guitar/psych sound then this album certainly shouldn't disappoint, but there are far better examples of the genre out there.

This album is the classic example of the term SOPHOMORE SUCCESS.Cargo is a great sophomore album from the talented new wave rockers from Australia and proving that they were not merely one hit wonders.very highly recommended.Get this but avoid all albums from the awful Kylie minogue.
Would this album be great or crummy, read on and find out(as I did when I first got this album on cassette in July of 1983 when I was 7).
The album's second half kicks off with the album's second US Top 10 hit and the anti-nuclear anthem It's A Mistake which is a great number.

 Men at Work: Business As Usual [Bonus Tracks] / Cargo [Bonus Tracks] - PopMatters Music Review
If I'm not spreading the gospel of new albums by artists who experienced their commercial heyday during the years 1980-1989 (witness my review of a-ha's Lifelines), then I'm taking a look at reissues of albums that originally came out during that same time span.
Cargo's greatest sin, some might say, is simply that it isn't Business As Usual, and there's certainly some truth to that, given the hard-to-reproduce phenomenon of the latter.
Certainly, if you judge "fun" by upbeat, silly lyrics, then Strykert contributed those to Cargo, but that just wasn't the direction the overall album was steered, making them feel very out of place and even less substantial than they already were.

 EARLASH : Album Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Like the rest of the album, it's saturated with a rich, atmospheric mood -- but unlike the Thievery Corporation remix that brings the album to a close, its mood is distinct from the homegrown songs here.
It may be due to the fact that most of these songs originally hail from the same album, but despite the disparate musical guests and styles incorporated throughout, See the Light holds together very well.
It's an album of rich and complex songs by a group who seem determined to continually challenge themselves -- and yet it never veers into the realm of inaccessibility.

This is the lineup that played on the album although for some unknown reason it is not listed that way.
But really this was just one of many unfortunate mistakes made by the guy who did the layout for the record as we would all later come to understand.
Another factor in our departure with Cargo was that our European label Active(distributed by MFN) had some kind of disagreement with Cargo that resulted in litigation.

 TrouserPress.com :: Fluf
Olivelawn's two albums are, for the most part, forgettable exercises in coming-of-age, post-punk riffage.
Lifting MC5, Sabbath, Iggy Pop and even ZZ Top licks (the Texas trio's "Heard It on the X," covered on the Jack Endino-produced Sophomore Jinx, is an homage to San Diego's alternative-radio station 91X), the short-lived band was important mostly for including O. and bassist Jonny Donhowe, who formed two-thirds of the far superior fluf.
Recorded live in the studio, the album bulldozes away a clearing while erecting memorable structures.

Also included on Strange Cargo III is a cover of a Jack Nitzsch song ("Harry Flowers") that was originally featured in the Nicholas Roeg cult film classic, Performance.
A video was prepared for the new album; it apparently does not contain substantial references to the peculiar "cargo cults" that developed in Melanesia after World War II (in which the natives waited for U.S. Army planes to return with more "cargo" for them).
Their new album on Daemon (a label founded by Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls) shows a variety of influences -- call it power pop meets the Atlanta guitar sound.

Known more for the various bands that it helped bring into the punk rock world than for its own short-lived output, Cargo Cult was a major part of the underrated Austin-based hardcore scene of Ronald Reagan's early '80s.
That kind of historical love alone gives Cargo Cult's only major release higher marks (as well as a bit more cultural capital) than it might have earned on its own.

 Review: The Rugbys – Hot Cargo. (Amazon 1969/Collectables 1997)
  The Rugbys’ only album Hot Cargo was the first LP released on Amazon records, and showed off the group’s ability to write and perform not only catchy rock songs, but more sophisticated and experimental material as well.
  Many of the other tracks on the album were similar to their hit…catchy heavy rock.
  The Lazarus album is musically less interesting than the Rugbys’ album, being more in the hippie pop/rock vein, but it’s still worth a spin.

An album that many might like listening to as a contrast to this age of heavy metal and hard house.
Strange Cargo and Strange Cargo II, are also both worth a listen but if you don't already own them, I would suggest just buying his 'Very Best Of' Album instead, as his latest albums are far better.

Their first two albums, "Business as Usual" and "Cargo" were massive sellers and I will admit to having played them on vinyl until they were worn out.
Unfortunately, their success went to their heads and after a dreadful attempt to be taken seriously with their 1985 third album "Two Hearts," they faded into obscurity.
Their greatest hits album features enough of their best moments from those first two albums to make it worthwhile for anyone interested in the nostalgia.

 Cargo by Men At Work CD
Men At Work's followup to the hugely successful BUSINESS AS USUAL was an album with a lot riding on it, but the Aussies come through admirably, upping the songcraft and the production values simultaneously.
There's less of a reggae undertone on CARGO, and the Aussie-centric "Down Under," which provided so much novelty appeal on the debut, has no equivalent here.
The album's centerpiece, "Overkill," is representative of the blend of introspective self-doubt and arresting melodic hooks that makes CARGO an unqualified success.
