When Big Beat was the rage in the dance world I found myself listening to this and thinking these boys were there first 10 years earlier and all the journos laughed at them then. Ha.Stupid journos.
Way ahead of their time, i think they should reform and do a new album, they would gain them new fans since everyone is annoyed with chart music these days.
Malmswax - you're so right - TOO MUCH FOR MOST TO HANDLE. Nothing but genius - I've listened to a mass of music over the years and it don't get any better than this....
Well said...very true. Saw them back in the day...NYC methinks...details are fuzzy now, but this record (originally vinyl, later on CD) is still in the collection.
"They'll do it to James like they did it to Elvis"....and they did. RIP Godfather of Soul. If a better homage than this song exists I have yet to hear it.
Another fantastic tune. If only the Poppies had of delayed their music by a decade, they would of been a much bigger success and maybe still on the scene today.

I gotta agree. Most music from the period that used electronic instruments and sampling just sounds terribly dated now. PWEI still sounds fresh.
