It should never have been a double, although that did give them the opportunity to make the 4 sides F, G, T and H, which is a nice touch. Simon Reynolds put it best when he said you can hear Trevor Horn losing interest over the length of the album. The first side is spectacular and is really worth the price of admission on its own. Bits of things float in and out before BANG off we go on a 13 minute prog kraut journey to Xanadu, oh yes, shooting stars never stop / even when they reach the top / here comes the supernova / what a pushover/ yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh (woo!). It was a single so you may know it from that but the original is far superior. What a deal of a shameless gall was required to put this product out. It's not as if it's that bad, either, everything's 'fine' by 'NR' standards; rather, what offends is its bloated unwieldiness, its smug dedication to gauche time-wasting. Like all these in-studio pop groups (ABC, Human League, Eurythmics, Soft Cell, Heaven 17), these songs aren't 'songs', but improv over a bed of synthesised sound. Some have more structure than others, see (hear) 'Relax', but by and large this is a symbol of the stagnant.

Includes the original double album remastered, plus classic B-sides, Trevor Horn's epic 12" remixes of Relax and The Power of Love, and archive audio interviews. Tell me where you want to go heaven's above and hells below the pleasure seekers are dying to meet ya they need young blood the angels can take you there you'd beware of devil may care.
