Would have voted for 'Advice For The Young At Heart', which has become my favourite TFF song ever.

yeah it's amazing that one. the story of the making of that album is incredible/nuts.
there was a Guardian piece a while back that posited the notion that Seeds Of Love was at points referencing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4ht5we3qzY

Yeah, it's the kind of studio perfectionism that I don't really hear about so much anymore. Which is kinda strange in a way, given that more people are able to make great recordings with home studios, but understandable in another - not everyone has access to the calibre of players on The Seeds of Love!

I heard Break It Down Again the other day & I seriously love it. Has a little bit of a Simple Mindsian thing goong on that I can't describe properly

^ That song is awesome. TFF were my first ever favourite band when I was a child, and "Elemental" was the first album I seriously loved.

I'm cranking The Seeds of Love now. It's pretty much my favourite TFF LP these days and is their masterpiece in my mind.

Elemental is pretty underrated. There's a few excellent songs on it besides Break It Down Again, that would not be out of place on a greatest hits album

yeah it's a good album. I prefer it to the albums that followed however more 'legitimate' they are by having Curt Smith involved
