Playful, witty lyrics keep the album interesting at all levels, and help keep the "weaker," songs at a high quality. The 80s were the finest decade in pop to my mind but few of the greatest stars ever charted: Virginia Astley is obvious. The duo arrived as LA refugees in 1986, primarily to escape what they described as the ‘sleazy politics’ of the West Coast music business, and would eventually stay on for a decade.

This chart was licensed by ARIA until they commenced producing the chart in-house from 13 June 1988. They teamed with British musicians Mike Jones, Martin Brett, Mark Bedford and Daniel Woodgate, the latter two of whom were former members of Madness. Bedford left after making formative contributions to the band and did not feature again, while Woodgate stayed for most of the band's main period of activity. Elsewhere, the two additional versions of I Walk The Earth are proof of its durability, but it’s easy to understand why the rest was excluded from the original version. In these worlds the titular and metaphorical Man In The Moon was the perfect partner because he never spoke, whilst the subject of What You Have Is Enough turned out to be a lazy consumerist in urgent need of some perspective.Opener The Beat of Love – one of five singles the album spawned – thumped its Doc Martens all over the subject of violent relationships, whilst I Say Nothing dealt with non-conformity to a sparkling avalanche of major chords. In October 2017, Bryn and Belland reformed with the original line-up to play a pair of concert dates in London, including the '80s/'90s revival show Indie Daze 4. The quirkiness came in part from a boldly alternative visual appeal but also because, whilst they were determinedly pop, they also wanted to rock in an era where women were often narrowly confined to niches like soporific folk (Tanita Tikaram, Suzanne Vega) or flogging virginal teen ephemera (Tiffany, Debbie Gibson). Martin Brett runs Brett Dempsey Music Productions in London and joined I, Ludicrous on bass guitar in 2008. The album includes a cover version of The Partridge Family's " I Think I Love You", which became their biggest hit in Australia, peaking at No.

Over on the other side of the noise dial, There’s A Barbarian In The Back Of My Car – with an unlikely co-writing credit for grubby lothario Zodiac Mindwarp – was a surprisingly exhilarating thrash.
