The real question is why "communicate" never been released on 12' ? 😉

Put The Freeze On is an absolute revelation. It sounds like some obscure minimal synth track with killer soulful vocals. A Puppet To You is also great, but the rest of the record is pretty standard and not that interesting. It's a shame there was never an extended remix of Put The Freeze On.

Great album. It will be very expensive very soon. Get your copy as soon as you can.
