From Icicle Works to... Oh let's stay on Mersyside. Bands like China Crisis are comforting looking back. Bands with a vision and still but valiant sensibility. Rather than... the likes of Stock, Aitken & Waterman who would fairly soon wipe away all opposition and plunge their sterille identity free flag deep into the Top Twenty and make it a no go area for years for the likes of me who demanded music that actually had identity that spoke in some way to me.
China Crisis were cool in a sweet quiet way. Their second album Working With Fire & Steel issues forth splendid lower chart hits that flicked V signs at the man in quiet but appreciated gestues as the Punk and Post Punk waves retreated in Britain in 1984.
