Collection assembles 15 of the band's tracks, making for an adequate romp through the group's short career. Since their own style of pop music does seem somewhat motionless at times, and a little light on hooks, this assortment may be the best way to investigate Young's and Vanda's project, with tracks like "Hey St. Peter," "Walking in the Rain," and "Early Morning Wake Up Call" rising a little higher than the rest of the cuts. Flash and the Pan gained more attention as a minor cult band than as a tuneful pop group, and it doesn't take long for the novelty of the "transistor radio"-like vocals to wear off.
Although this set does offer the bulk of Flash and the Pan's best music, there are a couple of worthy tracks missing from the album. "And the Band Played On," their first single on the U.K. charts, is absent here, as is "California," a twisted, almost eerie story-song about a general who gets drunk and mistakes a weather balloon for a Russian missile, thus launching his own nuclear missile in defense. In 1997, Renaissance reissued Flash and the Pan's first two albums and put them on one disc, making it equal to Collection as a worthwhile assortment of the group's offbeat new wave/rock music. (AMG)
