Big Country - In A Big Country/All Of Us

The A-Side is a hell of a song. Very 80's, with the big booming drum sound that entails which melds well with the pipe-like guitar and vocal into building up the musical equivalent of the "big country" the lyrics reference. The B-side's good as well.

3.5

Soft Cell - Say Hello Wave Goodbye

Soft Cell were one of the first bands that I got into, when I was in my synthpop kick. Even got Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret on CD. This was one of the standouts, this versions a little different (Marc enunciates his words a bit clearer), but is just as great. Dave Bell builds up some gorgeous synth backing, and Marc's vocals are warm and passionate. The B-Side is an instrumental, with a clarinet accompaniment. Not very interesting.

3.0

Depeche Mode - Halo

My general impression off of Depeche Mode is that they do good, but not great, dark synth pop songs. This is one such song.

3.0

David Bowie - John, I'm Only Dancing/Hang On To Yourself

Decent, if not amazing tunes from Bowie's glam rock era. Not much to say.

3.0

The Sisters Of Mercy - This Corrosion/Torch

A-Side was kinda lame. Guitar sounded like (and probably was) MIDI, which is pretty much never a good sound. Suppose it wasn't all bad, but it wasn't very good either. The B-side was an ugly, downbeat ballad - the singers got a horrid low-pitched voice, and, once again, the guitar sounds like it came from one of those keyboards you play in secondary school music class.

2.0
