It felt like I'd found the band I'd been looking for all my life. I absolutely got it. But 'Travelogue' as an album is unbeatable, absolutely majestic. <br /><br />I sneered at 'Dare' as stuff I was way too cool for by then, though hearing it now it reminds me of quite an amazing time in my life. And I still think 'Seconds' works well.<br /><br />Who still digs out 'Penthouse and Pavement' by Heaven 17, then? I still love 'Fascist Groove Thang', me.Kolley Kibberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055145770836351738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480141481321177460.post-20817051128471667702010-01-08T10:10:33.937+00:002010-01-08T10:10:33.937+00:00I agree entirely.

If I hear it again, I'll scream.<br /><br />It's Sound Of The Crowd for me, with it's pulsing beat, gnashing synths and properly Eighties new romantic non-sensical lyrics.Jon Peakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04471926651090670258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3480141481321177460.post-7514835169995779642010-01-08T09:20:45.070+00:002010-01-08T09:20:45.070+00:00With you all the way VS.

Travelogue was their finest moment for me..I had a few singles Being Boiled, Empire State Human and even the the pre-Dare Tom Baker bought from a bargain bin (ironically I remember thinking well it's all over for them now). Dare was a disappointment - it's too sugary and souless. The remix album Love and Dancing was more my thing - great versh of Hard Times too. If you haven't got it you must get Visgage's first album, which sits perfectly alongside Travelogue and Replicas. Trust Me it's a killer. And surely you've got Soft Cell's Non Stop?Mondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199468951602465556noreply@blogger.com
