The best record was the "Set", which was never released domestically in the US nor ever made it to CD. I ripped it from the vinyl. :-) The American version was pretty poorly mixed and track selections were changed. I knew about the Twins because I followed everything Thomas Dolby did and he was involved. Can't recall, but John Leckie may have had a hand in there as well (crack producer from back in that day). The rhythm section on "Set" was also legendary. Some of them went on to form the short lived Wide Boy Awake ("Chcken Outlaw").

Members of Freur built their own synths. They were into it. That's still a great record, IMO. I bought it before it got play - I'm close to 50 and I have always bought blind. Plus I worked the counter at a record store as a 2nd job and used to be the import orderer. I had LOTS of exposure from the order lists and I always read the UK music rags faithfully. I recall waiting for the P. Furs to get a contract and do a record for months after reading raves about their gigs. Those were great days for music - Bookies Club 870 in Detroit!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
