So I suspect it was written before most of the other Metamatic material - hence its unique style.
Yes, its got quite a unique style to it alright. It might have been a better choice than My Face on that yellow flexi disc.
Its interesting that its B-side was Metal Beat.
As far as I know, it never progressed past the acetate stage, although it did apppear in the catalogues of some Music Papers - NME for instance listed it briefly.
For whatever reason it was scrapped in favour of ANKOM (the mysterious VS303), which in turn was replaced by Underpass.
Personally, I quite like the track - although it is more contemporary than what followed. Almost sounds a bit like Soft Cell in parts to me...
It was certainly 'bopier'. Nice lyrics. And it sounds all electronic. At around 2 mins. in you can pick out a Metamatic quality for a few seconds (and again towards the end).
