| These guys are one of the most amazing bands out of the 80s pop/rock scene. Songs like Heavy, The Ghost in You and Love My Way are exquisitely orchestrated, quasi-ethereal and yet rhythmic in their own transcendent ways. A must have! |

During the earlier days of the new wave 80's, while most bands were making dance music and dressing outlandishly (think Duran Duran or A Flock of Seagulls), Richard Butler and his mates in the Psychedelic Furs took on a whole opposite tack. The first Psychedelic Furs album was a sublime mix of Velvet Underground drone and David Bowie's Low Berlin phase. Grinding with the commitment of fresh amateurism, "Sister Europe" caught the imagination of listeners in the UK and a cult following in the US.
The Furs got better fast and cut a classic on the second try with Talk Talk Talk. Containing what is likely their best known song, "Pretty In Pink," it found the Furs upping the tempo and Butler's voice starting to come into its own. The version of PiP here is the original album version, much darker than the re-recording made for the John Hughes film, and "Mr. Jones" is a cleaner single mix. The next album has Todd Rundgren stepping up to the production booth, and he streamlined the band to the point where "Love My Way's" xylophone riff teased the top 40. Forever Now also saw the band start toying with politics on the Reagan bashing "President Gas."
That tightness followed with Mirror Moves and more flirtations with top 40 radio. "Heartbeat" became a dance club hit and "The Ghost In You" really mirrored the Bowie fixation. The Reagan/Thatcher Axis took another poke with "Here Come Cowboys." The wait for success, however, came when Pretty in Pink hit theaters and Midnight to Midnight dropped "Heartbreak Beat," The Furs' highest charting single. But the band hated the album and tried for a more "return to the roots" on Book of Days...which was so under-rated that no songs from it appear here.
The band hit transition for All That Money Wants, a new track on a best of. The Furs' lineup changed, they moved to New York and they released a great comeback, World Outside, but to little notice. Listen to the songs "There's a World Outside" and "Until She Comes," and you'll realize the album was better than its reception. While The Psychedelic Furs progressed from amateur Bowie acolytes to an influential force all their own, it is this Best Of that captures their devolvement on a single CD. |
