Review

Debut solo album from Buzzcocks singer/songwriter. Originally intended as demos for the 4th Buzzcocks studio album, Shelley and producer Martin Rushent (hot off the heals of his work on the Human League's "Dare" album) holed up in Genetic Studios working on new material and overhauling some of Shelley's pre-Buzzcocks songs. Happy with their results, Shelley announced his departure from his legendary punk outfit and released this electronic pop masterpiece. Includes the radio hits "I Don't Know What It Is" and the title track. This CD remaster features bonus tracks including b-sides and dub mixes. Varep. 2006.2006 Digitally Remastered Edition of the Buzzcocks Frontman's First Solo Pop Album. As Robert Hilburn Wrote in the La Times, "The Critically Admired Recordings Helped Shatter the Image of Synthesizer Music as Something Sterile and Cold. In Fact, Shelley Injected his Songs with Such Wonderfully Stimulating and Evocative Touches that You Could Picture Such Diverse Pop-rock Figures as Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor and PULP'S Jarvis Cocker Both Being Influenced by These Tracks as Youngsters. For Reznor, 'homosapien'--the Single and Album--pointed to Ways Electronic Music Could Be Used to Frame Extremes. At the Same Time, Shelley's Music May have Underscored for Cocker the Wonders of the Seductive Pop Melodies and Sweeping Arrangements."
