“MacNeil’s glorious laser-beam keyboard melody in the final two minutes anticipates the lightness of touch, the shadowy beauty, the generous spirit of New Gold Dream. The track was initially mixed as an instrumental and quickly released on the B-side of ‘Love Song’. For the album version, Burchill added a distant screed of treated guitar and Kerr wrote lyrics and a melody. The vocal finds him at his most Ian Curtis, while the unsettling probing of identity - What’s your name? What’s your nation? - harks back to Empire and Dance, but somehow finds comfort rather than confusion in the question.”
(from Graeme Thomson highly recommended book “Theme for Great Cities”)
