What an album! Listening to this on a Sunday morning in 2025 and it’s simply marvellous. Pressing is superb. -
I totally agree with the above. This is the only synth-pop album I can listen to from beginning to end. Fad Gadget has been a powerful influence on many other artists in the electronic genre and this record is his most accessible.
-
This is a great early 80ies synth pop record - one of my all-time favourites. Fad Gadget was always over-shadowed by Depeche Mode although he was far more progressive, inventive and varying. He peaked with this record.
