26 YEARS later
My disbelief is slightly in suspense listening to the new album by ABC. Yes, that's right, the early 80s icons ABC, the band that sang Poison Arrow and The Look Of Love. Some 26 years after The Lexicon of Love, they're back with the sonic follow-up, Traffic.
Forget the diversion of Beauty Stab. Ignore the transgression of How To Be A Zillionaire. Just don't buy Up (although I did) and completely erase your memory banks of Alphabet City, Abcadabra and Skyscraping. Just buy The Lexicon and then forward to their fresh 2008 album, Traffic.
Listening to Traffic, it's like time stood still.
It's not just the sounds that got caught up in the timewarp, the website is pretty retro, too.
