I really love this album, nice to have it on my computer as well as the lp - cheers.
Great album but one flaw here...
You replaced the first track "Second still" with an early single track "Visionary"
However well done for putting the tracks up here...
I hope when it eventually gets re-released it has the "Mechanic" single b-side "splash" as track 13 because it really does finish the album in my view...
Still sounds great after all this time, doesn't it?
It does to me, thanks for putting it here
Hi, i have a friend who is mad about this band and has searched everywhere for this album! Can you please re-post the album so i can download it? Thanks a lot.
Thank You. Hard to find. A textbook example of an overlooked new wave album.
