Piano and modern rock was a great thing. See New Order's "World In Motion", Electronic's "Feel Every Beat", the Other Two's "Innocence" (sensing a pattern here?), et al.
"Aw, the carabinierrrrrrri!" (Gary?)
You know what else is a great song? Marion's "The Smile", from their little heard sophomore album the Program. Jaime Harding's vocals once again soar, and the overall composition of the song is greatly assisted by Johnny Marr's production. It's odd that such a great song leads off an album that welcomed the band from much hyped to mostly forgotten.
Thanks to a random Julian Cope interview i read online somewhere, i've discovered a wonderful, relatively obscure post-punk band in the Sound. Not current Swedish alternarock bores the Sounds, mind you, but the late 70's/early 80's London outfit that never quite earned the attention enjoyed by their peers Echo & the Bunnymen and Magazine. Another oddity ... i can't freakin' stand Julian Cope, but apparently he's got good taste.
Something about vocoders ... instant guilty pleasure music. Hee.
