@casinodelonge Very true. I think the real reason for their move to a more commercial sound post NGD was that they struggled to recreate live largely studio written songs from Empires & Dance, Sons and Fascination and NGD itself. It was always a great experience seeing them live when showcasing those albums, but the recorded versions of those live sets betrayed a very weak and threadbare production. It begs the question how much of the studio sound was their's as opposed to the producer's?

Lets be honest though, this version sucks ass, it sounds like its been done with rolf harris on stylophone... the point of NGD is that is magestic and symphonic, huge in its scope and perfect in its arrangement.... this sounds like the berverly hills cop version!!!

The zenith before it all went awfully wrong. You can hear the clues here of the horrors that lay ahead. But for a few moments they were the Best Band In The World. Kind of like Suede, but with genius synth sounds.
Sorry, I'm just kidding - Belfast Child is way better than this flabby, self-indulgent bilge. What on earth was I thinking?

@TranceKontrol Yeah I can relate to that, sounds fucking amazing!

When I went away to college, one of my first evenings there, a group of friends and I went to dance in the middle of the campus and this song was pumping out of the huge sound system. Knowing what I know now, I wish I could go back to that point and live it all over again! College in the middle late 80's was fantastic!!
