A different dimension of the 80s again

It is a real shame that Marc Almond and Dave Ball are often thought of as proverbial one hit wonders by the foolish. It is true that after a wonderful debut LP and some singles the creative fuel tank seemed to get a bit thinner and contaminated with West End theatre refuse. However, before 1983 and everything going safe and wrong one could see this chameleonic combination of Motown, Kenneth Anger fetishism and Kraftwerk on mainstream TV. Sad how times change...
