Two songs from the debut album. The A side is well known, and one of the big hits from the album. Five year earlier the two founding members met in Berlin and found their love for new wave acts like Gary Numan and Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark. They didn’t know how to play an instrument, but they had all these melodies in their heads.
I rediscovered them while I was in my second year of studying. Back then I had a friend in class that made me aware how nice they sounded, and that I actually already knew them. So when I found this record of course I quickly bought it.
