used to love this song as a boy, seem to recall it as one of the first singles i really followed on the radio
hearing it again here impelled me to download half a dozen of E.L.O.'s Seventies LPs, but about half way through Out of the Blue i started to feel like i had eaten a whole plate of meringues
this one though is pretty Rainbow Dome Musick-y in places
reminded me that there's a couple of surprisingly plastique-fantastique electronic music bits in the otherwise atrocious Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie -- don't think any of them make into the trailer below, which otherwise gives you a flavour of what's in store should you ever chance upon on this folly on cable like i did a few months ago
ah perhaps this is the bit i'm thinking of, or one of them
this is what dEbruit and that nu-fonk lot wish they were like
