Title: Excellent early 80's synth-pop...
Review: This review appears on the Import version of this CD under my previous incarnation:I have to admit, I'd never heard off Robert Marlow until I heard about him on a Synth-pop list when this album was released. I was quite heavily into Depeche Mode and Yazoo so I was pretty interested in hearing this once I found out that Vince Clarke was involved. Vince and EG Ratcliffe did the programming and you can hear the Vince Clarke influence on the sound, but this is very much Marlows record.My favourite songs on here are Calling All Destroyers, The Face Of Dorian Gray (the video is also included here) and Claudette - a World War II ballad set in France.I have no idea why this was never released at the time, I'm just glad I had the opportunity to get it now. I haven't stopped playing it for the last 2 weeks.Now who on earth is Peter Hewson (mentioned in the liner notes) ?
Is the review positive or negative?
