I abandoned a documentary about Jame McCrimmon to listen to this.

I'm starting to feel it was a bad life choice.

He keeps going all rockist.

Track 5 - Descent into the Inferno.

You could hear the influence on Nine Inch Nails on that one.

Look at the liner notes of Cliff's album after "Rock 'n Roll Juvenile" for example.

Jim's having a go at singing.

This early to mid-'80s stuff is just an experiment in how far he can push pure production as a musical form in itself.

If so it's aged terribly. This sounds weak man, weak.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood >>>>>>>>> this.

This is basically an ugly 10CC.

Back to Adam Ant.

Look, you might not like it - it may indeed be total shite - but it certainly encompasses a genre 'sound' of the time.

I ain't gonna lie when he went all Cabarete singer then, the needle would have come off the record.

The sounds for sure.

It's more or less one bloke on his own in the studio though.

It ain't no fun in an iron lung.

Track 6 - Enter the Exterminator.

Starts Like Madness' Driving in My Car.

I've had enough.

I'm stopping.

You lot and your Cliff.

Lucky I didn't mention Nick Cave goes 80s.
