Memory Tapes Seek Magic is a polished piece of work. opener Simming Field starts with a dog barking until a slither of guitar comes in and drums foolow, and we hear the lyrics washed in sweet reverb. Bicycle is pretty funky and upbeat. Green Knight is good. Pink Stones is excellent Stop Talking is up tempo and cutting with this synth line that keeps coming back at you. Graphics is funky and uptempo. Plain Material is good and slow. Run out is good. Treeship the closing track is brilliant , nice and long. the whole thing works because the feel varies from track to track its full album of good music, and the music and sounds are funky, disco even, inspired, chillwave, synth pop songs, a bit like if ducktails took pills. it even has nice guitar in the mix, it blurs the line between chillwave and synth pop so well its allmost mysterious. 8/10
The Age of Consent by Bronski beat is filled with synth pop gems. opener Why? is one of them. superb little number. Ain't necessary so is good and down beat. Screaming is good, another downbeat number. No More War is good and downbeat. Love and Money is slightly more upbeat than the rest. Smalltown Boy is amazing. Heatwave is good. Junk is uptempo with cutting synth lines. Need a Man Blues is good. the whole band is openly homosexual and in their lyrics appeal to gay issues and Need a man blues is one of those songs that. theres all passion here in these tracks. I feel Love/Johnny Remember me is brilliant. any fan of Donna Summer or Giorgio Moroder will like what Bronski Beat have done with this track. Smalltown boy ''12 version is amazing, the best track on this album by far. 8/10
