Aaaaand, that's your lot!

It is over.

It wasn't really my kind of thing. It was too synthy for that, and I felt it ran out of steam on its second half but it was competently constructed.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 3 stars.

I have told many people about my painstaking research through newspaper archives to find that sample, and you are the first ones to be remotely interested group hug

I too shall.

TSASOTV is an absolute stormer of '80s awesomeness.

I'm giving it 3, because it was the second album I ever actually paid money for (£4.99 in Our Price on May 10th 1986, having stayed up till 4am the previous night watching Video Jukebox) and I did used to like it, and it's still got something now. Particularly Dream Yourself Alive.
