Pure, perfect synth pop. Never bettered.
Simple synth riffs overlaid by Alison Moyet’s rich, deep tones. Gorgeous, timeless classic.

McCartney clearly held some good tunes back from the later Beatle years and put them all together into a finely wrought album of quite beautiful music that earned him a lot of respect. Sadly, with one or two notable simplistic pop hits, what followed thereafter was largely forgettable to the point of embarrassment.

OK, Marc was my first ever hero and Rock God, so I understand if you can’t respect this in the way that I do, but this, for me, was absolutely persona-shaping stuff. I still dream of making those sounds Bolan achieved from his Gibson Les Paul. Orgasms on a six string. May you ever live with the faeries.
