This band were big in my college days. Their first album was massive, possibly five or six chart hits on there. They followed it up with their second album, which frankly, had not hit evident. It was amazing. Here was this band who had just headlined Glastonbury and performed their chart-topping hit ''Kids'', to follow it up with an album whose best song ''Siberian Breaks'' was twelve or thirteen minutes. They experiment with synths and get a ''freak-folk'' synth-pop sound. A group of accomplished musicians who make music, not for chart hits evidently, but an art form. Angular. Intriguing. Subversive.
