A defining 80s album that still sounds as fresh today as it did in 1982. From the excited insanity of Party Fears Two to the adrenaline rush of Club Country to the drug addled paranoia of No, Sulk is a multi dimensioned album that desperately needs a wider audience in this very one dimensional world. Billy sounds great, Alan is able to keep up (just!) and Sulk is defiant and definite. Gloomy Sunday is sumptuous, sultry and even the tatty version of Love Hangover literally bursts with energy, ideas and excitement.Tracklist:
All changes and switches aside, it's still very much the Associates at probably the best period of their career. Mackenzie's impossibly piercing cabaret falsetto rivals that of obvious role model Russell Mael from Sparks, while Rankine's ear for unexpected hooks and sweeping arrangements turns the stereotypes of early-'80s synth music on their heads. The bass work from ex-Cure member Michael Dempsey isn't chopped liver either, and the result is a messy but wonderful triumph no matter what version is found.
