    It is a classic 80's style set of songs. If you liked the electronic tempo and beats of that era, this would be a good album to own.

      Well, thanks to the other world-wide releases, I finally discovered (almost 32 years later) what the initials of the "O.N." Mix in the U.S. release meant. Ugh. Why, oh, why?

        The Vatican Dub has the most unique beats to it. Its strange the A side is 117 bpm while the B side is 119 bpm. You rarely see that in such similar mixes.

          The epitome of 80's synth pop. Absolutely f*cking brilliant! I dont understand how someone can take the lyrics in the hook and make them sound so uplifting and melodic. The process of taking the words written on paper, and converting them to the beauty that we hear....well that's where the genius lies. Its not what you sing, its how you sing it. Stunning beyond words. Now excuse me while I go play some tetherball.
