What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Ouch, my ears are burning from the synth. It didn't take my breath away, that's for sure. Probably bought this for
Sex (I'm A...), but Masquerade is the fav. One more like other than those two, with the title track, then it's crap.
With only seven tracks, not much room for improvement. This is the LA groups second album, and it would be one more
before they broke through for me with that Take My Breath Away hit. Originaly released on the Enigma label, it
didn't become known until some DJ somewhere started playing Sex. It took off and was re-released by Geffen. Always
considered them a Blondie clone, down to the blondie singing (Terri Nunn). This is the groups best selling album
going platinum over the years, although only reaching #30 on the charts. Three singles were released, Sex,
Masquerade, and The Metro, with none of those breaking the top 50. Surprised the album has done as well as it has,
but a platinum seller is serious sales. I guess club play drove it. Terri appears to have been multi-talented, as
she is listed on the liner notes as doing vocals and bj's. I bet daddy was proud.
