Their pledgemusic is one of the laziest I've ever seen: we might make a record eventually, in the mean time pay to see us doing coursework about and try and come up with ideas.

I heard 'Breakout' while shopping but I must have misheard the lyrics because I spent about a year googling variations on 'oh freakout' and 'well so do I' without success. then someone bumped this thread and I had a big aha moment when I looked it up on youtube. thanks ilx!

I don't care how bad the horns have aged. Love this tune.

the three remixes at the end of the reissue are really fun

xps the horns are actually OK on this. There are other late 80s songs where the horns have really aged.

Great song. Best bangs in music too, and still looking great at 57

the better song is 'You On My Mind' from the next album.

I fucking love the horns on this - without them, the song wouldn't be anywhere near as good.

In any case this was a joyous and great song and I applaud any reason for basking in its bouncy wisdom

Found out the version of this 12" I own has 3 unique mixes on it according to a rando review on Discogs. My interest was prompted after reading the liner notes to the new Durutti Column reissue where they talk about Andy Connell joining the DC live band.

My god, what a song. And to whichever herbert upthread suggested the horns have aged badly - no way!

This song is basically perfect BUT I think that semi-rapped bridge does walk the line of awkwardness-approaching-cringe just a little bit.
