Great ****ing band...I have their 12" mixes cd, and one more, they are excellent.

Nowhere near as left-of-field as Spirit Of Eden or Laughing Stock but still an absolutely essential album |
Indeed, IMO, "Mind Bomb" is their best, Matt Johnson's vocals throughout are cool. I really dig" This is the day".
Also, another good band that started off this way, and became pretty good too is Ultravox. They started off as a "synth pop" sorta band, and became something else. John Foxx and Midge Uru's stuff is wonderful.
