This is the third cassette release by ABC, and is probably their best
album.A welcome return to form after the instrumental "Numbers"
album(which I’ll post next).Another selection of minimal analogue sine
wave smoothness, and warmth. Really is a great advert for leaving things
out rather than putting things in. This wouldn't be so easy to do once
the evil spectre of MIDI loomed in 1984, tempting all decent electronic
groups/duo's to pile as much sound into three minutes as
possible.......bloody awful musical claustrophobia.
Another argument
for restricting access to too much equipment for the sake of creativity.
One synth,one drum machine, one voice = Perfection, like a rock power
trio. Raw ,simple power.

I'm pleased you see it my way.
I'm often called a thief????
Since when is sharing art theft?
Indeed, do not pay ,in fact $100 and counting, for this music.Most of it was given away, or non profit, back in the day.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!
