If there's a credibility issue at stake, I'll withdraw that comment. When I say "good" I mean, erm... not sh1t? blush Last edited by Birdsong; 01/20/12 01:53 PM.

I had their A to B album on vinyl back then (also had Mr Leer's The Bridge and Dalek's Compass Kum'pas, all long gone now) - World Of Water - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qbuAa_4kks Sanctuary - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=827qRRIVwxo Living By Numbers - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8SwY9DgbLw

Not really synth-band as such but I really liked their single Hand on my Heart which I probably heard on Kid Jensen's show in 1984 and promptly bought the 7" single. As a next-to-penniless student I didn't go any further and invest in the album/cassette, but it was a damn good single/sound. Apparently they're still going.

Blimey, I remember them - wasn't a big fan, but most people I knew then loved them. Freur - what ever happened to them eh?

I'm sure this lot did some early work with Soft Cell... cited on a Mambas album somewhere. Viscious Pink Phenomena. I reckon they sound a lot like Pet Shop Boys...
