Is the Breakout revive a response to the Outbreak! thread?
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.

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

I remember being very depressed by the video as a little kid, thinking, 'Is adulthood really that bland, that this is happiness, this is fun, this is BREAKING OUT?'
If it were made now it'd show the unmistakeable highlights of adulthood such as binge-watching a tv series, eating at a new restaurant, ordering clothing online...

I've been really into this band's first album lately. It's like an entire album of 90's anime opening themes. I guess its sound may even have been the inspiration for a lot of those themes.

"Theme (From It's Better to Travel)" reminds me of the Orb's "Spanish Castles in Space"
― you can see me from westbury white horse, Monday, 25 July 2022 20:54 (two years ago) link
"Theme" really isn't what I expected from Swing out Sister:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNHvQqqELVU
I wonder if they played it as an overture in concerts? Or if it was the two blokes in the band trying to show that they could do film soundtracks. It sounds like a mixture of incidental music from Star Cops crossed with battle music from a SNES game.

I like the suggestion of it the closer to the album but the overture to the concerts - very "Pimpf"

I love "It's Better to Travel" so much. Been looking for more albums that hit that sound (which it seems the band departed from immediately and permanently). So far the closest I've found is "En Cavale" by Isabelle Antena, which hits on a similar glossy, jazzy Sophisti-pop type sound. Any other tips?
