4.0 out of 5 stars Not their best, but not their worst, either., February 1, 2004

By	Bighairydoofus "-" (Brooklyn Park, MN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mirror Moves (Audio CD)

I saw this tour in '84, so this album will always have a special place in my heart. Talk Talk opened up for them and the furs had three encores... what a show!

Anyway, I see it's become fashionable to say this was the beginning of the end of the furs with this album - I completely disagree. I think this music is a bit more polished and accessible than their earlier output, but it's still a really good album. Heck, even Midnight to Midnight is a decent album, albeit their worst.

I see this one hasn't gotten the remastering treatment that the first three albums have received since Sony acquired the furs back catalog. That's a shame. I bought this album on CD back in 84, and still have it. I bought into CD technology early on, and if you have any experience with earlier CD's, they sound HORRIBLE. I've since found this album on vinyl, but would've liked to hear this one remastered. The extras that Sony's been adding to the remastered versions would have been worth the asking price alone.

Anyway, don't shy away from this one, it's a good furs album - but not their best.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Classic, April 6, 2006

By	Ian Johnston "teknokon" (Independence, MO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mirror Moves (Audio CD)

The Furs return with "Mirror Moves", which is one of the albums from the 1980s that I would have to classify as a "desert island CD". The production values are much slicker here and the sound is more refined and processed. However, while it lacks the bite of previous Psychedelic Furs' efforts, this CD is just plain fun. Standout tracks include: "Ghost in You", "Heartbeat", "Alice's House", and "Here Come Cowboys". If you like 80s pop-rock at all, you need to own this CD. Say, how about a remaster with bonus tracks now?

5.0 out of 5 stars one of best ever, November 8, 2005

By	f - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mirror Moves (Audio CD)

this is one of those rare works that is not only one of the band's best, but an all-time better. if i had to choose one album to get stranded on an island with, this might well be it. what's it like to have the first 6 songs all awesome, then the remaining 3 very strong? with 5 ("my time") & 6 ("like a stranger") being the best? it's one of those albums you just don't want to fast forward or skip ANY of the songs--how many are there like that?
