One of my all time favourites! Every song on the album is excellent! I've pre ordered the box set version too

It seems like they were inspired in Savage`s Tonight album, "Big In Japan" sounds like the song "A Love Again". :)

One of the best records ever made. All tracks are really good, though Forever Young, The Jet-Set and Sounds Like A Melody are a bit better than the others. If you enjoy synth-pop, you'll love this record.
