Oh I know! SFC especially. Was wondering what the catch was with this album, turns out it's side B after Capital City lol

Side B is def. weaker but it does have "Thirty Frames A Second" which is a fantastic Gang of Four rip.

There are some good songs on this but it's essentially a set-up for what they do on Sons & Fascination/Sister Feelings Call.I'll stand up for "Constantinople Line" as a highlight on side 2, as well.

i only knew "don't you" really until i started playing this silly facebook game called songpop in which you guess songs as fast as you can. turns out that game introduced me to a ton of cool songs & artists. including songs from this album.

“I Travel” still sounds at least 15 years ahead of its time. The band was truly a miracle between 1980 and 1984
