Edited 3 months ago"Sunshine Now" is just pure pop perfection, the rest of the album is tightly made and doesn't do with overproduction or gated reverb. It's the perfect unsung 80s album, even better than Luxury Gap.
"Shame is on the Rocks" is one of my all-time favorite H17 songs, as is "This is Mine". And of course, since it didn't sell too well in the US its dirt cheap. -

anybody know why the lyrics to reputation are the way they are? the chorus is at the beginning and they end with a set of lyrics that are not in the song. ive never listened to this band in my life until this specific song, and upon reading the lyrics and going to look at the release on discogs for more info i got pretty confused. -
Worth the asking price for 'And That's No Lie' - a closing track that really has to be heard on vinyl to be fully appreciated. -
In a time when everyone ing the electronic scene tried to explore the frontiers of stereo-effects this one appeared. An interesting combination of dry electronic sounds using famous sequencer lines (Shame Is On The Rocks) with elements of Funk, Discolines and Jazz. Nearly 30 years old, no question, sometimes more than dusty, but with several genious moments. Should be part of every serious collection of the 80s.
