Sorry for the really awful image quality, but surprisingly I didn´t find this video here, so this is better than nothing, at least the sound is Ok:). This is the classic dance (influenced by acid house) first single from Technique, reached 11# in UK in 1988.
From one of the most tragically underrated albums of the eighties, Shakespeare Alabama. A near-perfect debut with delivers Byrds/REM-like tunes in a power-pop vein, with celestial melodies and unforgettable tunes. In a perfect World "All the myths on Sunday" or "Here I stand", or in fact any other song in this album, would be all time classics and radio staples.
Formed out of Glasgow-based 'Friends Again' (you can check its classic 'State of the Art' in youtube), moved towards a more sophisticated, funkier sound, typical white-soul-R&B-pop of the second half of the eighties, with perhaps more style than substance, but this is a good single, very catchy, it was released in 1988.
