the missing link, or a missing link, between Kid Creole & the Coconuts (retro-nostalgia) and Laibach (Mittel Europa belch-buffoonery)

the gentleman as aesthete-entrepeneur

pre-synth Dieter
Morley's mash note / fan-fic version of Yello
a sleek little tune - probably more down to David Morales mixology than Boris B brilliance
