A Flock Of Seagulls
Mike Howlett produced this collection, refining the group approach to rhythmic drum machine patterns and dense synthesizer layers. The result moves away from the bright tones of their first release, opting instead for a weightier tone that feels composed and deliberate throughout the runtime.
The record features the hit single Wishing, which manages to blend personal longing with complex arrangements. By focusing on a darker aesthetic, the band successfully navigated the shift in electronic music at the time without losing their distinct melodic sensibility.
