Sounds good! I have their "Songs from the Big Chair" album and they seem to carry over their signature sound to this new song.

Sounds good! I have their "Songs from the Big Chair" album and they seem to carry over their signature sound to this new song.

Besides the great music "Chair" had magnificent engineering, tons of headroom, right up there with Steppenwolf's The Second, even on cassette, rare for the day.

Both of 'em were favorites to listen to cranked up to "9" when perfectly buzzed, flat on my back on the bed, floating on a sea of sound.
Already had the subwoofer and 4 cab/10-speaker setup. AR-28b's and Sansui 3-ways. Still use 'em.
And still have "Chair" (and Steppenwolf)

Speaking of magnificently engineered great music from the period, Simple Minds' Once Upon A Time and Duran Duran's Seven and the Ragged Tiger (!) are another couple I still have and play occasionally.

Got this one on vinyl:




I'm beginning to remember why I thought the '80s was the best thing since the '60's, pop music-wise.

Why are they so old! The 80s don't feel that far back.

I am glad Tears for Fears doesn't seem to have sold the rights to their music to advertising business.

Shout​

Shout​

Shout it all out​

These are the stains I can do without​

Come on​

I'm talking to you​

Come on.​

I liked Shout a lot.. My younger brother had Songs from Big Chair.
Cool guitar solo at the end of that song too.

I loved the Simple Minds. I saw them when they were touring with the Pretenders. Of course, this was probably the time when Chrissie Hynde was dating Jim Kerr, the singer for Simple Minds. Great show! Ah sweet youth.

Awe man...TFF is the best of the best, in all areas of record making. Good to hear they're releasing a new one.
Ha, my sub was a mid 70's Ampeg single 15.

Of course!

Here's Duran Duran performing last week:




And here's their new single, new album coming:

[Westerly Wood]

also a good one from Big Chair, and love the guitar solo to close out the song:

That Duran Duran video is bordering on the Uncanny Valley reaction.
