The Lexicon Of Love : Deluxe Edition

Look Of Love収録の大ヒット作、プロデューサーとしてのトレヴァー・ホーンの出世作であり、ニュー・ロマンティックを代表するアルバムともいえます。このデラックス・エディションはボーナス・ディスク付きで、ボーナス・ディスクは82年のライブと81年のデモで構成されていまして、かなり演奏がしっかりしているライブがカッコいいです。ファンであれば迷わず買いでしょう。

Uncut (p.160) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[A] grand love story, or at the very least an elaborate seduction. It's the sound of a band - a generation - falling in love with the new stylistic and technological promise of '80s pop..." Melody Maker (4/6/96, p.38) - Bloody Essential - "...Martin Fry was 23 when he conceived this masterpiece of orchestral songcraft and audacious lyrical insights, this celebration/deconstruction of photo story romance....sounds like the future, still." Mojo (Publisher) (p.124) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[Including] songs as perfect as 'The Look Of Love' - replete with knowingly absurd talkover - or the jaw-dropping 'All Of My Heart,' still one of the '80s most underrated singles..."
