I really liked The Associates’ Sulk. So this is a slight disappointment. They took 3 years between records and when they got back this sound was already passe. So, in the end they sound like a second rate Erasure. Especially on “Waiting for the Loveboat”. It’s all very energetic but somewhat directionless and adrift in a climate that would be uninterested. Also, every song is about 1 minute too long.
Billy Mackenzie, who was essentially The Associates, was briefly married to the cousin of Melvin Dummar and committed suicide in 1997.
