There have been times in the past when Promised Land or Two Tribes would have walked this but right now today I'm going Kano

For me it’s between Let’s Clean Up The Ghetto, I Can’t Go For That or Promised Land

Harlow - Take Off is the ludicrous big production euro-disco epic on this one. Great escapist fantasy, like an urban themed Hills Of Katmandu. Not actually from Essex, AFAIK.

I'm very fond of Turn The Music Up - pure good times, if a little heavy on the sax. Like Take Off it sounds amazing on this compilation.

Centipede may result in an irritating earworm, but the chorus with MJ joining is lush. WTF @ the lyrics.

Goodnight Tonight is pretty doggone wacky; dubbed out mix, vocoder and rhythm box. Hook me up with your excellent pot connection, Paul.

I think my jam here is Waiting For A Train. The song, not the activity. Metronomic 'balearic' pop rock and really great in the extended version.

What's that mister? Hope they fix your face.

i actually do not like the 12-inch version of "genius of love" somehow

I was a kid in a record store and heard that Two Tribes remix with the BBC “Mine is the last voice you will ever hear” and this was during the scary nuclear-threat years, so that.
