Remember these guys?!? Honestly this could be said of many a number of 80s synth bands but these songs were everywhere.
Gawd, what A Flock of Seagulls and Duran Duran hath wrought.
Or, does any of this happen were it not for Gary Numan’s monster international hit, “Cars”? They all had that and Yaz’s Upstairs at Eric’s, right?
That said, Heartland is terrific. A really welcome entry and surprise in the morass that was 83 synth pop.
Everything Styx and Planet P and Human League and all those others were trying to do can’t come close to “Catch Me I’m Falling”.
This album should be in your 80s catalog. Cuz it’s delicious.
