GREAT CD! Feb 25, 2003 By Peter
I normally tend to stay away from the techno genre, as i find it too repetitive and boring after awhile. This cd is so different though. I loved it. The first six tracks are unbelievable! Traci's seductive whispery voice on the first track called Control is perfect for this style of music. There is such a seductive, hypnotic, dreamy quality to this song, i was hooked on first listen. The next track Fallen Angel is even better and has that same beautiful quality to it: angelic and haunting background singers and Traci's soft and sultry voice over a driving beat and even a touch of Flamenco guitar. Amazing! Both of these songs sound great in a car when you're driving down the highway. Outlaw Lover is one of the standout tracks on the cd that will have you wanting to hear it again and again. It's catchy and very cheesy, but in a fun and totally likeable way. I can totally see Mitsou or Stacey Q doing this song and having the vocals sound very similar. Good And Evil has a very German techno meets James Bond sound to it that is great. I can see why these songs would be good movie soundtrack songs. The slower songs took awhile to grow on me and lack a lot of the impact of the first six tracks, but i enjoy them very much and they don't deminish the quality of the cd at all. The song Father's Fields is a very disturbing and personal song about when she was raped by her father when she was a kid. It's not an enjoyable song to listen to, but it's one that should be heard and is an important song. The final track Okey Dokey is annoying and cute all at the same time. Personally i think the cd could have done without it, but i'm still giving this cd top marks and highly recommend it.

Say something Aug 27, 2005 By Erica Anderson
The only good thing to ever come out of the horrible "Mortal Kombat" movies is the killer soundtracks. One of my favorite songs from the original "Mortal Kombat" soundtack is Traci Lords' track "Control". I love Traci's breathless vocals and the fast paced techno beats. I finally got around to buying her album "1000 Fires" a week ago and I was quite surprised to find out how good the cd. The music is all written by the legendary techno act Juno Reactor including "Control". The lyrics on the other hand are something to be less than desired. I found the lyrics to be silly, and sometimes stupid like on "Okey Dokey" and "Good-n-Evil". "Okey Dokey" has to have the worst lyrics I have ever heard. The song itself has a good beat but the lyrics are awful. I was suprised to hear that not all of the cd sounds like "Control" but has a smooth, seductive trip hop feel like on "Distant Land" and "Fly". My favorite songs on the cd has to be the catchy "Fallen Angel" and "Outlaw Lover". I especially dug the infectious hooks of "Outlaw Lover" despite the silly lyrics. The album is by far from perfect but it is better than I was expecting it to be. Normally any actor who tries to become a musician usually fails miserably by my standards but Traci does a remarkably good job. Now if only she can work on her songwriting abilities.

Traci Lords: The Newest Diva of Dance! Jul 02, 1997
FANASTIC! Unlike most techno albums, Lords debut goes beyond simple rave standards and packs an album full of meaningful energy and alot of feeling. It starts off with the hit single 'Control' (from the film "Mortal Kombat") and takes you into a virtual dance wonderland. The songs inculde hardcore pieces ('Good n' Evil'), soft ballads ('Distant Land'), and even campy tunes ('Okey-Dokey'). Every track is a winner, not one fails to loose your intrest. A standout piece includes 'Father's Field', an emotional account of a painful (and true) experience that happened to Lords. Her openess in this song is amazing and reveals a vunerability that isn't very common in techno. Lords has established herself as a true artist, and proven that there's more to a "Melrose Place" star than good looks. She's a Madonna for the 21st century! END

EXCELLENT! Jul 22, 2006 By LITTLE ONE
I HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT THIS CD NUMEROUS TIMES AND BOUGHT IT AGAIN RECENTLY. EACH TIME I BUY IT SOMEONE WOULD WANT TO BORROW IT AND NEVER RETURN IT BECAUSE IT WAS THAT GOOD! ITS A CD THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU LISTEN TO IT, YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. MY FAVORITE SONG LIKE MANY OTHERS IS "CONTROL". ITS AN EXCELLENT SONG TO WORK OUT TO! "OUTLAW LOVER", "DISTANT LAND" AND "FLY" ARE OTHER FAVORITES!

TRACI LORDS REALLY SHOWS THAT SHE IS NOT AFRAID TO EXPRESS HER FEELINGS AND SHOW OTHERS WHAT SHE HAD GONE THROUGH IN HER PAST.

An awesome collection that stands the test of time Oct 22, 1999 By Barry Clements (72777.2026@compuserve.com)
This album I listen to again and again and it never gets old. Techno I had never considered until this album which I didn't take to on the first listening. But about the 3rd I couldn't get it out of my CD player. It's been close ever since. Her vocals are awesome and the music is sonically smashing...
