Including:
How Gary continued his funk/industrial style from Berserker
How radio continued to ignore him despite being a funky banger
How he turned to co-producers and took on a new songwriting technique for the album
Its music video co-starring his then-girlfriend
Theories to what the song is about

I bought The Fury back in 1985 and the fact it had saxophones female vocals didn’t worry me at all. Very stripped down electronics. Good stuff.

The Fury is a great album and influenced Martin Gore on his their Black Celebration was to sound both he and Andy Fletcher have said they liked the album. Love the synths on this album always loved Call Out The Dogs and Creatures live

I'd love Gary to do more stuff from the mid 80's on his tours. I know he doesn't think much of it, but to me it brings back lots of memories seeing him perform them years back. Warriors, Berserker, Fury and Strange Charm tours please Gary :)

Call out the dogs, Anthem and No Shelter are my favorite tracks on this LP

Too much female backing vocals and sax on Gary's music during this period for me.
