Interesting.
Bought this in about 1985, when I was a student (the first time). Odd, electronic, featuring processed Clarinets, synths, drum machines, and terrible vocals.
Stand-outs: Fool's Gold (despite the "singing"), and the "poetry" bit (Last Man in Europe), and "Odeon, Red Square".
I suppose there is a John Foxx feel to some of it.
Anyone else know this album? I can't be the only one who bought it (apart from one of the other guys on my course in 85)
I understand that the "last man in Europe" was the original working title of Orwell's 1984.
Update: I've found a reference to this, under the Label Name, Situation Two, on Wikipedia. There's also a mention of it on the "Situation 2" section on the Beggars Banquet site.
Situation Two Catalog number was SITU 5, and it was actually released in 1985.
