A Flock Of Seagulls (AFoS - UK - Apr 82) - A Flock Of Seagulls
09.04.1982
'I Ran' and 'Space Age Love Song' are two of the best tracks of the 80s, which the rest of the album can't live with, but what could. Still a great debut album, although I marginally prefer 1983's 'Listen' and many of the orchestral versions on the 'Ascension' album.
