"Really awful is more interesting to listen to than pretty good" - Eno ................................................................................................................................................................................................................. welcome to the drivel blog of "music detractor, Simon Reynolds"
Have to slightly sheepishly admit I always liked this one. The little synth flourishes in the verses remind me of From Rags To Riches off the Blue Nile's first album.
That video, though, Jesus! Never seen it before. Even by the standards of 1982 it must have seemed a bit sad. Jim Diamond's lack of height doesn't help.
