Man, when this record came out, it was "must have", especially entranced with "7th Dream..." and their tour with Siouxsie.

When I heard this opening song, I was elated. I knew I was listening to the right band. They had the sound, lyrics with meaning, and magic.

This album inspired "go for it" behavior throughout my teen years in the 1980's (class of '88 here).

It seemed like the baton was passed from aeons ago to these musicians and poets. This album still rocks and inspires. Sweet music

@californioxochipilli what a great response! i was a late start compared to you (class of 99 here!) , but from the second i listened to express and 7th dream i was hooked.

Nice to know the music inspires beyond the "80's crowd".

Check out Tones on Tail as well. Daniel Ash was very creative in those days. Over the years, the cutting-edge expression seemed to wane. Even with Love and Rockets, it became less "the whole album" that inspired and reduced to a few good songs here and there.

Their electronica music with the album "Hot Trip to Heaven" and their self-titled album is good.

"Oh, these days, their all mine..." Earth, Sun, & Moon

@californioxochipilli you've got great taste. I think I own just about everything. I have the Tones on Tail - Everything album, and every Love and rockets album up to 1998, and every Bauhaus album, even their 2008 album - go away White, even though i dont really count that onne as one of their real albums. . i should have been in your graduating class. if u check out my favorited vids and the songs ive posted u will see im

n for new wave, and dark post punbk rock and roll

By leaps and bounds or measured steps....

Remember the day this album was released. Beeline to the Orlando indie record store, and this was cut one / side one. Beauty, beauty, beautiful :)

I used to hit waxtree all the time and I think I must have spent all my money there.... damn long time ago... Those were the days Visage was still around. And yeah right by Aloma and Semoran S.R 436. Wow small world they always had great hard to find shit and if he didn't have it he'd order it 4 ya which he did all the time for us. That place was great. I miss the many , many trips we'd all pile in and head out there to go and spend every last penny we had..lol ... good times, good times

@SorrowfulMystery You're thinking of Bob, at Wax Tree records. Aloma at 436, sold all the old vinyl and tons of UK Subway sized posters. I actually bought most of my records from Murmur Records and Tapes over in College Park, just barely off Edgewater Drive. I did buy my share from Bob, but Don at Murmur probably got 60% of my high school paychecks :)

@Crimeyfied I lived in Orlando then. Was it near Aloma?
