I absolutely love the production on this record. ‘80’s synths to the max, sample stabs, roto toms, a PPG Wave solo (I think) and of course Gary Numan. The mix is fantastic too. Bill Sharpe? I don’t know anything about this guy, but he held it down on this track. Whoever owned this record before me beat up the beginning a little bit, so you’ll here some crackling. The Nitty Gritty can’t fill in scratches. Otherwise this record sounds fantastic. Change your minds.

Dear Zartek, Thank you for teaching me what "arpeggiated" means. Also, this Sharpe & Numan record is brillz. A consistent repeat offender on my headphones. Love, Your Space Buddy
amazing track. one of my faves from highschool 12" shopping, pulled it out last month and had to play it three times. has that melancholic bittersweet sound that i can't get over. good choice for number one.
WOW! This blog is the best i have stumbled on so far. you have just the right balance between Cool and Cheese! Quality stuff all the way.
You should curate a compilation!!! Very very good selection of tracks i have never heard about. Time to go record hunting...
Great Blog and awesome tunes. Bill sharpe was a keyboard player with british Funk group Shakatak.
The 80s music was so good and this track is one of my favourite's. I have it in my collection and I enjoy it whenever I get time. It is a pleasure hearing it again and again.
