1983
Eyeless in Gaza
Red Rust September
4 out of 5
There’s no paucity of emotionally driven epic synth-rock in 1983. Seems like everyone bought a keyboard and a microphone and started making music. Which is a good thing. Radiohead said “Anyone can play guitar”. In Eyeless in Gaza, anyone can play keyboards, too. And, if you are of the mind, you can make some perfectly good music. With one foot in the 60s and psychedelia and another trying really hard to understand catchy song construction, Eyeless in Gaza has chops but their songs don’t go anywhere special.
Every 80s brit band is in here. I hear som Joe Jackson from his Body + Soul era. There’s a dash of Difford and Tilbrook. A host of everybody and that renders a lot of this anonymous.
