A perfect slice of 80's pop, sounding quite like the 90's Britpop band Dubstar, who I loved back in the day. The record is pretty much flawless, being very cute and catchy, yet with a slightly darker undertow beneath it all. It peaks with the fantastic back-to-back pairing of 'Who Knows What Love Is?' and 'Go Away'. I'm not sure why this isn't one of the most famous pop records of the eighties, because it certainly deserves to be, sometimes even sounding like a female voiced, synth-pop version of The Smiths (see 'Deep Water' or 'Go Away' for proof). A classic album of which I wish there was more of.

Some songs near the beginning that I really wasn't feeling but once it settles in it's just a cozy vibe. Just some beautiful 80's production with melancholic vocals laid over-top, it reminds me of that episode of Black Mirror with the ladies who put themselves into a alternate reality to spend eternity with as they died. Effortlessly pretty, yet fleeting and just as melancholy.

A quintessential 80's pop album, from a bold female new wave duo from Scotland. With a hint of shoegazery, and gothic undertones the music is energectic, dark and beautiful all at once. Rose McDowall made a name later on as a floating member of the neofolk scene, and here her voice is just as alluring as ever.
