there is something extremely disingenuous about the sugar free video in that it is basically a synth pop song but the video features not one bloody synth
There was a lot of that going round in the 80s iirc.

basically "white dudes doing MPLS sound pastiche" was one of my favorite things in the world circa 1987 (see also: "Right On Track" by The Breakfast Club)
compiling the best of this stuff would be an 'interesting' arcival project - there must be a fuckin' ton of it

I am very impressed by how his voice has held up even though it feels like the first song is made entirely out of treacle
― Dana Jel Pey (DJP), Wednesday, 14 April 2021 20:29 (two years ago) link
You know, he's held up generally a fuck of a lot better than other 80s outfits. His stuff was surprisingly prog, for one thing!
"The Riddle" is a FUCKING WEIRD SONG.

Oh absolutely! But yeah the melodies are decidedly all over the place and very not-bog-standard-pop.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 15 April 2021 01:50 (two years ago) link
I was very disappointed when I found out there was no answer to the riddle.
