Deezer listen:
1980s synth-pop/post new wave duo....
sixth studio album but their first in over two decades...
was never a fan but absolutely loved their "tainted love"/"where did our love go?" double-A sided covers single and liked one or two other singles and loved vocalist Marc Almond's duet with Gene Pitney of Pitney's classic "somethings gotten hold of my heart" but the rest of the forty years worth of music i do not care for.
i listened to this as a curiosity , i expected nothing and ultimately.......i got nothing so win-win IMO...!
probably only for the die-hards/purists but i found terrible.
not my cup of tea and probably not anyone's on this forum...
the lead-off single: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYMQTqZMQWs
my favorite (and only because Pet Shop Boys appear on it)
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.
