"Working with Fire and Steel" is borderline genius. As is "Wishful Thinking". I thought they actually suffered when Walter Becker got involved with them; I much preferred their previous album which was produced by Mike Howlett. But then again I'm 1,000,000% a New Wave junkie.

I was just pondering this question! Had no idea Becker was involved with something like "Black Man Ray". (One of only two tracks I definitely knew to be China Crisis songs before this week, along with "Arizona Sky".)

never really liked 'flaunt the imperfection' as a whole but i love the softness of the horns/woodwinds on 'you did cut me'. guitar on that song is lovely too.
