Deee-Lite

Well, my hope when I saw that Arrested Development had collaborated with the dance group Deee-Lite on a couple of tracks back in 1992 on their album Infinity Within was that they had heard 3 Years and decided that they wanted to have a couple of songs in that style on their album.  My fear- and suspicion- was that they did hear the album and basically decided they wanted AD on a couple of Deee-Lite sounding songs that could've basically been done with any other guest artists- pretty typical of how most rap guest spots are done today on seemingly every song on the radio.

And yeah, the second one is pretty much true.  Still, the stated mission of this site is to be everything and anything Arrested Development and Speech, so let's go ahead and share these songs, with a few thoughts by each.

IFO (Identified Flying Object):  Like the rest of the album, a very "dancey" type song, with Speech giving a guest rap and according to liner notes, Headliner and Speech are both on the turntables.


Come On In,  The Dreams Are Fine:   If you didn't like the first song, you'll hate this one.  AD appears at the very opening of this song with what is described in the liner notes as an "African chant."  They are there and gone.  Nonetheless, here it is, so do with it what you will.

Well, enjoy, it's too bad that they didn't let AD have more influence over the music, but it is what it is.
