Reviews
- The 2012 official limited edition CD box set (50 released worldwide) never made it to Discogs. I have a copy, but lack experience in adding items to the website.
http://jimmysomerville.canalblog.com/archives/2012/08/03/24829320.html - Utterly fantastic album. So far ahead of the game on release and has not (to these ears) dated, unlike a lot of other stuff released at the time. Soulful catchy electronic music to dance to. Subject matter would not be out of place nowadays either. The recording sounds amazing, warm, clear, an excellent record in every way. Treat yourself to an original, you can pick them up surprisingly cheap.
- Great and under rated Synth pop LP with some stark lyrical themes wrapped up in simple pop genius. 'Why' is an amazing track that still sounds way ahead of the pack even today. The dour 'Love and Money' is another highlight as is the punchy single 'Small Town Boy' the ideas and messages on this record haven't dated at all.
- Back of sleeve refers to track B5 as I Feel Love - no mention of Johnny Remember Me, although this is correct on the label on side B
