What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

INXS  "underneath the colours"  vinyl  1981

from Lynne's vinyl collection
INXS' second album
i was only aware of one song from it prior to giving it a whirl on the turntable
typical of the pop sounds from the period
has a horrible tinny synth-drum sound to it
the thing that really stands out for me is the bass guitar which appears front and centre and is quite melodic
songs just seem too much of the same and certainly hearing some influences from Thomas Dolby, Adam Ant, Flock Of Seagulls etc
but that could just be the whole New Wave pop thing and not deliberate
after two listens this album didnt overly impress me but it was still okay thanks to three tracks i did love
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
