4.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourites from the 80s, July 10, 2000

By	P. J. Golda "Digilante" (Luxembourg) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Judging from the other reviews, the fact that after this release the band chaged style to a more 90s upbeat style, seems to have done little good for this album. Personally, I dislike their later work. Now that means that if you like 80s music, then you will probably love this album like I do. And, if you like their more recent work, then this will be a great disappointment to you.

Two tracks from this album were mega-hits in this part of the world - "Glory! Glory!" and "Underneath the Radar". The other tracks are not as strong, but it is good stuff nevertheless, with tracks like "Pray" and "Call Me No.1" very much agreeing with me. This is a relatively dark album, possibly edging towards the "alternative" genre given the interesting usage of synth, but with a definite 80s pop flavour.

So, if you like 80s music, then get this and you won't be disappointed. Otherwise, perhaps stay away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Actual Music!, July 12, 2005

By	Paul Worlton (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Don't get me wrong - I like the techno Underworld stuff on Friday nights when I'm anticipating a party weekend. But the other 90% of the time when I am not in party mode, I prefer something more melodic, and this album fits the bill.

I disagree with comparisons to Yaz and Depeche Mode. This album has a little bit more mature funk to it. If I was to compare it to another band, I would say it sounds more like Ministry before they went hard industrial. And, similar to the early Tears for Fears albums, all of the songs are strong enough to make the entire album playable.

If you like 80s pop, this album is a must. But if you like the edgier techno of Underworld, you might be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rare, March 5, 2004

By	Sophie Reed (Loveland, CO United States) - See all my reviews

This piece of the 80's is hard to find. I should know I've been searching for 10 years (first I had to learn the artist name even though I was only fairly certain of the title). This is the piece every aerobics class (remember those?) teacher played from 1989 to 1990. The lyrics and the techno dance beat are unmatched, so we bopped til we dropped to the title track. Buy or steal it if you find it - and good luck with that.

Make sure you listen to samples from this CD before you buy it. It is a totally different type of music from what Underworld makes now. I really did not like it!

This is a great CD. I've had it was released.
I still listen to it frequently to this day.
Quite frankly, while I like their newer stuff, it doesn't compare to this gem.
