I was late to the party and really wasn't immediately familiar with them until after their heyday had passed. After listening to this album a few times through, I was immediately hooked, but really didn't acknowledge the beauty in the simplicity of what I was hearing; that is, it didn't translate immediately that these guys had hooks, timing, and taste that some of their more popular contemporaries often struggled to pull off. At the time, they didn't impress me as being anything more than the other bands of similar ilk that I was into. All these years later, I find myself going back to the album again and again (while other more well-known albums continue to collect dust), and I now fully appreciate the significance of what this band was doing. This collection of tracks, along with those featured on Blow, rank up at the very top of my list, not just for the given genre, but for music in general. Listening to it now, I cannot fathom how AllMusic and Rolling Stone could only muster 3 or less stars on the material of that time (the latter having long ago forfeited all authority on what is artistically viable, IMO, I suppose it isn't too surprising).<br /><br />My big fave is the seldom-mentioned "World Around". There is something about that track that just makes me want to move. Coincidentally, it shares its title with a classic song by an equally woefully-overlooked and oft-ignored British supergroup, LEVITATION, of whom I am also a rabid fan.<br /><br />I also love the soaring feel and rolling cadence of "Never Know". As an artist, I am continuously fascinated by trends in creative endeavors, and how threads of similarity often independently bubble up out of the ether in numerous ways simultaneously. Musically, "Never Know" strikes me as somewhat of a parallel to the type of arrangements Jane's Addiction would end up releasing that very same year, though neither could have realistically been an influence on the other. Coincidental for sure, and a testament to the creative receptivity of great minds on both sides of the pond.<br /><br />Terrific review, and I endorse your perspective 100%. Many thanks for sharing the full release, as well, because several of those tracks were excluded from the version I have.<br /><br />Cheers~caught.researchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488984637077382057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-63734547219943075932010-04-01T10:59:10.484-07:002010-04-01T10:59:10.484-07:00eu amo essa banda cara!

I discovered this band in 1988 on MTV's 120 Minutes (Only Dreaming), snatched up the album, and have been hooked since. My band is actually covering "Hands Off Me" at a party coming up in September. Great album from start-to-finish. Favorite tracks also include She Said, Big Stick, and Another Side.
