This is obviously the best song.

by Nightjar Sun May 15, 2022 7:36 pm

It's got a proper melody and everything.

Female vocals.

by Nightjar Sun May 15, 2022 7:37 pm

The chorus is a bit agricultural though.

Again, the truncated video/7" version. rant

It is over.

That was a very good album, packed with intricate and well-judged synth action and simple but bold songs.

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

Poll now added.

I didn't like that very much.

Oakey's voice is annoying and there was a conspicuous lack of anything resembling memorable melodies or hooks throughout.

Also, I've always thought of Oakey as a bit of a phoney, with more invested in style over content.

Still, DYWM is gr8.
