Never liked them a bit.
This thread made them sound pretty ridiculous though, so I listened (to laugh along) and it was def funny...
But now I can't stop listening to them! What the heck.

So it turns out the song that I remember being played round my house loads and loads and loads when I was maybe 2-3 years old and has somehow stuck in my head all this time despite me not having heard it again until now was.... The Freeze! This is actually a very cool song and like Kitchen Person says upthread, very very funky.

Dunno if it's funky, but it does use "funk" elements.

xpost, well it's very 'disco'. Think it instilled in me a love of that kind of patta-cakey rhythm + octave bass

so has anyone seen the documentary?
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 26 July 2015 17:49 (eight years ago) link
yeah it's fantastic, one of the very best best music docs i've ever seen. surprising to me because i'm not a fan particularly. the rare-footage-and-no-on-camera-interviews style really works and it's especially good if you dig the idea of 2 hours of rare mostly-80s footage. some great stuff in it. Gary Kemp comes across as a bit of an egotistical tosser sadly.

I think you meant "fortunately"
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 26 July 2015 18:47 (eight years ago) link
No, but I did read through Tony Hadley's 2005 book 'To Cut A Long Story Short' again recently. The state of the band circa Heart Like A Sky was a bit grim, to say the least.

there's some real good stuff on that record though - some of their lightest material in tone!

The doc wasn't bad, but it's disorienting watching a band selling out arenas in 1986 that weren't in the United States.

"The Freeze" would have been my pick of the handful I know: "erogenous zones win again".
