[1983]
Epic 80s 80s 80s
Could you get anymore 80s.
This covers so much sonic 80s ground it's astonishing that it works!
Its new wave atmospheric synth pop with all these other elements like hard rock, sophisto-pop, mor ballad, there's a bit of jangling, talk-singing that's almost rap, a dubby bassline, ethereal female backing vocals all captured in one big dreamy soundworld. With all that going on it is a testament to Idol and co. that it gets a chance to send chills down your spine with a pretty touching delivery.
*We should all know Perri Lister the woman doing the proto-dream pop backing vocals here as she makes the song.
