in a way that no one's found
brave new answers screaming the truth
and the techno wins the crown"

is there a lot of L42 um "around", mr freakytigger?

The top searches seemed to be

- Running In The Family
- Lessons In Love
- Hot Water (quite far behind)

A couple of people had extensive collections, most only had one or two of the above.

Only one user had "Micro Kid"

THEY RECORDED NO BAD SONGS and I SAW THEM LIVE AT WEMBLEY ONCE and had a HORRIBLE NACHO

I saw them live at Portsmouth Guildhall, but sadly after the Goulds had left the band. I was right at the front though, and could see every pop and snap of Mr Kings thumbs.

Pity I didn't go to one of the gigs the year before that - Allan Holdsworth on guitar, how cool would that be?

I used to really like their downbeat lovesongs, "Something about you" and "Leaving me now" in particular. "Love Games" also good.
I think they had a major hit over here in the NL with "Heaven in my Hands" as well, I remember it as a massive all-out eighties overproduced bombtrack. But i haven't heard it in 15 years, so it might sound limp and tinny now instead.
