I guess it’s the one thing they did that countered claims they were just Bowie clones. I mean, they were clearly influenced by and obsessed with Bowie, as their cover of Ziggy Stardust (great!) and to some extent, Telegram Sam (also great!) done in a Bowie style, but sometimes it became too much.
But this is a great track. And, as influenced by and obsessed with Bowie as I am myself, I can’t really give them too much stick…ha-ha!
And, unlike that tedious one-trick pony, Numan, they did manage to make at least one record that wasn’t so obviously a Bowie thing!
Now that’s band I never expected to see anyone write about on this platform. That’s why I subscribe.
Great write up man. I saw them live and it was the best show I've ever seen.
Hells yes!! Seen em live!
