"Leopard Ray" is the hidden discovery on this Thompson Twins 12 Inch - much loved by the eighties Italian Cosmic and Ibiza Balearic scenes, its lazy flamenco reverse beat rhythm still sounds great to this day.
Anyone know why the song You Take Me Up, as per the back cover information, is divided in two titles:
Machines Take Me Over 7:33
&
Down Tools 4:18
when it seems to be the same song (You Take Me Up) with an instrumental part at the end?
