Frozen in time... the luminescent trails of cars hurtling by outside the windows opening up into the cold, dark night. Inside melancholia and nostalgia, memories of a love long lost, time faded sepia photographs, remembering when the sky was young and the riddle of life was for the taking in the beautiful eyes of your first true love... those halcyon days, when summer and autumn reigned your soul like forever and the air was sharp and brittle like a winter's morning?
I walked about 6 miles across Birmingham with my little sister to see this band support theYellow Magic Orchestra at The Odeon in 1981. I was 16, she was 13. We didn't watch the main act but left after the Angels played and floated home. Great, great memories.
Wonderful live recording. About 10bpm faster than the album version, it works well. Can't believe how great the sound is on this. His voice is perfect... could watch this 100 times. Cheers!
"And I won't get anything". And they didn't at least when it came to recognition for their work. Just listen to how that bass drives it along. So simple so effective so right.
Brighton 1980 With U2 on the same Billing. who? i said, that's an odd name for a band, like the spyplane? Any they were good as well Bought Boy... not too bad, some good stuff Bought Oktober .... err, not sure Bought Joshua Tree ... NO thanks... just one good track [bite bullet , I think] then no more U2 for me, lots more Comsats please

I’d walk 60 miles in the snow to see these guys. ( bare foot)
Great story, love hearing these sorts of things.
Deep, dark, uplifting. Magical.

oh boy, earworm at first listening
FUCKING AMAZING!
I'm getting Sleep no more signed!
This is one of my very few alltime fave bands - saw them live too!
my alltime fave band!
The drumming
From Sleep No More ! A Desert Island Disc. Perfect 😎.
If I had a time machine...
I’d go with you for sure

Great.
Be Dave!!!! I LOVE this band! I've seen them twice and they were great at both shows.
Why wasn't this band huge?
Their later albums weren't as good... they went from label to label
Allegedly bad management
SUPER
Thanks
Not 1 of their strongest songs, however. Still really great.
Tnx a lot !
