Title: Songs to Learn & Sing
Date: 1985
Label: Sire Records 25360-1
Notes: Consisting of cuts previously released in 1981 thru 1984 this collection demonstrates the lighter edge of eighties angst. Melodies, fantastic guitar sounds and electronics all blend to make for a delicious stew. This is all in retrospect of course, I kind of dismissed these guys the first time around as disco marketed electo-dance. But no, on recent listenings these songs can stand on their own as classics of the period. I remember an ethereal video for the "Dancing Horses" cut and it was very similar to the shadowed front cover. Very nice indeed boys.
