This is a really good sounding press. I was fortunate enough to bring home an excellent copy of this. After giving it a bath... wow. It sounds fanfreakingtastic. -
Edited 10 months agoI enjoyed this quite alot, a bit of a shallower Missing Persons type-thing but it's pretty cool nonetheless. If you like awesome sounding new wave then you'll like this. Can't say I'm a fan of the constant moaning on Track 3 (Sex I'm a...), but 'The Metro' and 'Tell Me Why' are very good cuts. Seems to dip into Hi-NRG territory with the arpeggiated bass and synth stabs.
Sound Quality as always is quite good, very much what you'd expect from that time period.
