But as jazz-pop goes, it's not quite as good as "My Ever-Changing Moods."

I'm thinking a cover of "Year of the Cat" is in their future. She comes in incense and patchouli .....

Funny, that's how I felt the first time I saw the video for "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun."

I was never a "When Smokey Sings" fan. I'm glad it was such a big hit (and my classic '80s station plays it A LOT) but the song is a pallid homage. If you're going to bow to Smokey, your lyrics better approach his, and "Lexicon of Love" was the last time Martin Fry even approximated it.

Speaking of Spandau, how's that "rock" album they released in '86?

Though I am listening to their "Live at the Jazz Cafe" record for the first time right now and... dang! This is really good, and really not what I expected!

Dip In The Pool's 'Retinae' definitely has its moments!

Oh yeah, that's a good pull! I like that album a lot too. Kind of a quieter energy to it than Swing Out Sister but it does hold a very similar appeal. Great clarinet on there too!
― OneSecondBefore, Friday, 26 January 2024 20:45 (three months ago) link
yeah its definitely more 'Twilight World' than 'Breakout'

Ended up checking out Shapes and Patterns because it was their highest-rated album on rym. pretty straightforward and pleasant Burt Bacharach-style music but certainly not as fun or compelling as "Breakout". But interesting to learn about their second life in Japan - "Now You're Not Here" from Shapes and Patterns was a huge hit and they're pretty well-known there
