Reviews & Discussion
It's interesting that many tried to provoke the public with their own sense of independence (this album was released on the group's 'indie' label 'Reformation' - also probably an obscure reference to one of the streets in Berlin's Spandau). 'Journeys to Glory' remains a sole exponent of naive energy and enthusiasm, less ambitious than their later work, still capturing the essence of Bowie-esque golden years in Berlin/London New Romantique. The group delivered a name from one that city's graffitis (the legend has it it was from the prison wall - and it should have been pronounced as Germanic as possible ('Schpandau Ballet')... An interesting choice of words but mainly just securing them a certain moment in time. 3.7/5
