Clearly one of the best & most slept on english 80s groups. They had a ton of excellent songs. Much more than most uk synth bands. Quick Step & Side Kick is a perfect album. Literally all 10 songs are on point. They were the first true synth band to matter imo. No diss to Depeche Mode.

I still think Love on Your Side, has one of the greatest synth grooves ever. Layers and layers of synths all working together.

I hear you laughing in some other room And it makes me feel locked out You say my passion often stifles you And you need to move about But I was taught that boys need girls and girls need boys You say that's not true You'd rather fool around than be alone with me Well, that's alright for you Cause you got love, love Love on your side Cause you got love, love Love on your side Cause you got love, love Love on your side Cause you got love, love Love on your side I've bought you sentimental roses But you gave them all away I've played you all my favorite records Then we spent the night in talking, talking all the time... You sent me home I was so surprised to find that after all It doesn't hurt to be alone

The tune and video are pure genius. Brings me back to my early teens. Pure energy by the whole band. I wonder if Alannah Currie actually did the drums and symbols in this, but fantastic energy. Joe Leeway on keyboards with the leather fingerless gloves (remember those?) and of course Tom Bailey on vocals, well in fact the whole bloody band... just gets my adrenaline rushing.

The drum machine used in this song (seen at about 0:13-0:16) is the same one used and seen in the music video for Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)". It's a very rare machine.

The Simmons drum pads but the true sound of the record came from the MCS or Movement Percussion Computer (mk1), you can see it at the begining of the video with Tom pushing the buttons. Eurythmics use one of those in Sweet Dreams and you can see it also in the video with Dave typing on it.
