5.0 out of 5 stars
Classic, underrated synthpop, October 22, 2005
This review is from: Difficult Shapes & Passive Rhythms (Audio CD)
I came to China Crisis's first album rather late, but it is an absolute classic. More electronic than later efforts, like the equally good "Flaunt the Imperfection," it holds up well. It has a sound that can only be described as vintage early '80s, but it doesn't sound particularly dated. China Crisis mastered the art of using technology appropriately to match their lyrical sensibility. I find myself putting this on a lot, 23 years after its release.
