"What I remember about this CD as I was a kid growing up in the eighties, all the electronic music that was around. I am not a fan of that kind of music but this album happens to be the best of that genre of music. Yes, the electronic music is there but they mix in real instruments to balance out the album as a whole. The songs are very under rated. The way the second half starts out is very compelling, "88 seconds in Greensboro" starts off as a rocker with screaming guitar and a smooth bass very 80's style, a very serious song with live drums to boot then has that song fades into the next song, The native daughters of the golden west. This song is very grandoise, it stills gives me goose bumps. Once that song comes to a end the surprise of the record comes along, Le femme accident.

This song would make George Martin of the Beatles fame stand up and applause. Not your typical 80's album good material here."

OMD is Amazing!
