from the 12” single, Biram Records, 1982Ah, it’s midterms already, which is something akin to a mini-break for us teachers, since all we really have to do is show up, distribute the evil tests, then collect & grade them; for the record, I’m not one of those douchebag profs that takes pride in making impossible tests or anything. Hell, I even give them a study guide! Any boogie heads that have done their homework lately will already be familiar with this near-perfect slice of synth magic, and we only have the infernet to thank for that, as even scratchy copies of this single fetch over $500 at auction---and that’s before this ‘80s retro-craze had even hit it’s climax! While I can’t imagine spending that kind of cheddar on a 12” (…dude, that would buy about a 1 oz. hunk of bubble hash, worthy of carrying one through the spring ahead…), the music does manage to deliver on the hype: smooth harmonies, cheap-ass synths & electric piano, bongo-laced bridge, & a steady break in the chorus that makes my ass wiggle.
