Always love that melancholy Prophet 5 preset - almost out of tune. If you go to this video on YouTube - SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS PROPHET-5 REV 2 PROGRAMMABLE POLYPHONIC ANALOGUE SYNTHESIZER - at the 5:34 mark you can hear this very preset/patch.
OMD's best song. So haunting, so beautiful and eerie. I love the out-of-tune brass section. Great harmonic modulation, too. Don't even get me started on the title!
Best group for listening while smoking some weed? The tranquility of this song is priceless, it takes to other places while hearing this precious melody, so much creativity in the 80's, pure art, elegance and introspection!
@Fangita66 Absolutely 100% in agreement. And that's how it's been for the last 30 years.

i always thought Sugar Tax was a reinvention of Dazzle Ships with a little bit more catchy synth-pop.

Andy says it is the Band's favorite song! It is a great song, but 99% is so great I can't figure out what my favorite is.
