Reviews
- This is one stunning piece of '80s synth pop with its sweeping orchestral instrumental breakdown. One to treasure and proudly grace any dance collection.
- this song is 80's anthem
- Edited 19 years agoFabulous 12 Inch version of an already excellent song. The extra long "orchestral part" will get your blood pumping.
The B-Side is also a gem, unfortunatly the other parts of the Nelson Highrise (which can be found on other singles) are not this good.
