A Flock Of Seagulls - The Best [email protected]
"And I ra-a-an, I ran so far awa-a-ay...." OK, now that you've got that stuck in your head for the rest of the day, you may as well go ahead and get the rest of the hits and misses from the most badly coifed outfit in synth-pop history. Frontman Mike Score, a former hairdresser, is responsible for this Liverpool band's worst and best aspects, the latter being a talent for almost painfully catchy pop melodies and synth hooks that bounce along nicely over gradually descending bass lines. In addition to the aforementioned "I Ran," this best-of sports two versions of the equally sublime "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)" and a selection of tracks from AFOS's six-year career, including "It's Not Me Talking."
1. I Ran (So Far Away)
2. Space Age Love Song
3. Telecommunication
4. More You Live, The More You Love
5. Nightmares
6. Wishing (If I Had a Photography of You)
7. (It's Not Me) Talking
8. Transfer Affection
9. Who's That Girl (She's Got It)
10. D.N.A.
11. Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You) [Extended Version] - A Flock of Seagulls, A Flock of Seagulls
