i don't know if i could have toured with them after they made an album with one song called "don't mess with doctor dream" and another called "you killed the clown."

Wasn't (Soft Boys bass player) Matthew Seligman in The Thompson Twins for a while, or did I dream that?

ah ha .. that explains a lot .. cos Matthew Seligman helped out Dolby on his albums .. and didn't Dolbly once be part of the TT gang ? in some capacity anyways ..

"Hold me Now" is a perfect song of its era and style. I don't know much about the band beyond that, though.

Leeway's gurks (or was it Alex Sadkin?) was a very crucial part of their sound anyway.

thirteen years pass...

How did I never hear the first album, A Product Of..., before today? Sounds at times like early herky-jerky XTC, sometimes Martha and the Muffins. Excellent post-punk record!
