If you're keeping up with my reviews, you've probably noticed I put a slight emphasis on innovators and originators. This track falls well within the limits of innovators. It's dark, it's dancy, it's a little goth, most of all, it's good! Now, that's excluding the slightly whiny and somewhat "femmey" vocals, but that was the style du jour in the early to mid 1980s. Any way you slice it, this track was one of the early pioneers of the "techno sound". And thanks to American radio, I never heard it until about 1993, when a local radio program director/DJ from England started playing it regularly. I guess MTV and mainstream radio felt that we were happy enough with Hall and Oates and Def Leppard in 1983 when this track was produced and released. Better late than never, though. When I heard it, I knew immediately it was relevent to the techno underworld. I still like it now and have a 12" single featuring the 1983 and 1985 mixes and would play it at any techno event. Kiss me - and listen to this song.
