He needs to put loads of phasing on his voice on this one.

This next one's weird.
The version here is really long, but my proper album version is less than 4 minutes long.

Does it have one of those dead endings where it fades out and the track keeps playing silence?

According to my sauces this was 5:38 on the original LP, but shorter on the CD Which has a part 1 and 2, with part 2 as a bonus track (?) which adds up to about the same time?

The phasing on his vocals are just a teeny weeny bit much.

This is very Human League.
But not as well produced.
Not really, they're more 'experimental' less pop, and not better produced.
But then I only know their first two albums.

It is over.
That was an appealing album which managed to ramp things up whenever you feared it was all going to get a bit fey. It is definitely worth a second listen. The vocals were intriguingly different to what you'd expect on a Synth-Pop album.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it.

I haven't listened to it properly in a good long while and about 20-25 minutes in it was getting a very solid, confident ★★★★★, but it does lose focus in the final third and, it...
Oh, what the hell!
