Vintage Escape Club - it rocks, features monster melodic hooks, great solo, yet has something of a danceable crossover appeal as well. I love the middle bit with the reggaeish singing.

There wasn't another band out there like these guys...they had their own specific vibe & sound and were inventive instead of being a "me too" group. Even obscure album tracks like Edge of Your Bed and So Fashionable are worth getting. I remember the CD single for this tune had several interesting remixes...

oooooOOOOHHH, OOOOOOoooohhh

I was 15 when I bought Dollars and Sex and I would blast this song all the time on the stereo in my family's basement. This is actually the first time I've seen the video. I'll admit I had a crush on the singer too. The best thing about the 80's was the music. This song still lifts my spirits :) Wait- is this early 90's? Whatever the decade, it's a very cool song.

@aruizi No, that was more to do with the way records were mixed back then. if you remember Van Halen's, "Jump" That record didn't even have a guitar in it until the solo and that band had one of the worlds greatest guitarists. It was because radio did not like loud guitars.

[aruizi]

@JohnnyHammer10 Such a pity and, of course, an enormous mistake not to surf in the wave of late 80's hair/glam/pop metal —"Who do you love" would have made it there quite ok— and to choose instead a song that sounded ok, but that probably hit a different audience than "Wild wild west". By the way, I noticed that in the whole album the guitar had a great tone but it was way too back and, to me, it just didn't work well. I assume that the main reason was, again, the label looking for an AOR sound

[JohnnyHammer10]

@aruizi we, the band were pushing for 'Who do you Love' as a single, but the record company wanted a more AOR sounding track, so they went with Walking through Walls, the first of many mistakes by them.

[aruizi]

@JohnnyHammer10 Wow, who's answering me? Thanx for the info, I'm amazed that someone that says "we" is writing something in response. I liked the band a lot, and I wondered all the time why didn't they —may I say "you"?— release "Who do you love", my fav song —probably the best from the first album— as a single. Thanx again.

@aruizi Yeah, and when we asked Ian if we could use that sample, he said as long as we donate some money to charity we could use it. They don't make em like that anymore..... a real good chap.
