Customer Reviews

short but sweet
thay were one of the best groups of the 80,its nice to see that you can get ther music still so readely avelabe to day even 20 years on

FULL THROTTLE SYNTH POWER
This is a synth fest set to driving and bubbling beats celebrating technology, computer games and power politics, executed with plenty of gusto and energy. Love Missile is thunderous and energetic with lots of echo, unexpected samples and galloping synths, while Atari Baby is slower and atmospheric, reminding me of Alan Vega’s psychobilly excursions. Rockit Miss USA is catchy power pop, Massive Retaliation is a charming mix of beats and samples and Teenage Thunder sounds like Suicide at its most hypnotic and is full of quotes like “money makes the world go round.” She’s My Man starts with a cheeky quote from the advertising copy for a certain hair gel. In its innovative use of synthesizer Flaunt It is on a par with Sparks’ great masterpiece No. 1 In Heaven or Alan Vega’s Collision Drive. Giorgo Moroder’s talent was here applied to create a stirring, over-the-top post-modern rock statement. I still love it after all these years.

Pink rubber laced with studio lines bouffant quiffs........
Okay then, this maybe a trip down memory lane for a percentage of the male or even female cross section of the population, but what a trip. From the steering wheel pounding Love missile F1-11 to Teenage Thunder, the album reeks of nostalgia. When you were 15 years old this was as raw and close to the knuckle you could get, a far cry from the foul mouthed rantings of eminem and friends. You want a taste of the 80's extremists then get this and sit back with a smile all over your suburban bliss soaked face - punk never knew what hit it!
