album number nine for this UK electronic pop duo...
as far as im aware theyre one of only of the genre from the UK still together and releasing albums since the 1980s,
the other is Depeche Mode...
album follows their tried and successful formula...
easy simple, catchy pop melodies wrapped around breezy synth beats...
was more than a little surprised to findmy favourite track wasn't issued as a single as it is head and shoulders above
the other tracks IMO...
all up, you either like or loathe this pop duo, I like them, I own several of their old 7" singles but only a compilation and
this one on cd.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: I made my excuses
best track: the Sodom and Gomorrah show
