Kool-Aid is an album by Big Audio Dynamite II.[3] It was their first album under this name and with this line-up, which had been changed by band leader Mick Jones in 1990.[4] It was only released in the UK, Europe and Australia[5]. Several of the songs appeared on the group's next worldwide release, The Globe, albeit in reworked form. Among them is "Change of Atmosphere", which was reworked into the group's number 1 hit "Rush".
Critical reception
Trouser Press wrote that "with a relatively loose feel and concept, Kool-Aid is Jones' most diverse outing ever, a limited-edition eight-song stopgap offering two acoustic ballads, acid-dance, techno-rock, Kraftwerk samples and even Laurie Anderson-styled poltergeist vocals, as well as a remixed (and retitled) version of "Free," the band's contribution to the Flashback soundtrack."[6]
