I didn't realise TFF had hit the charts before Big Chair. Wish I'd heard 'Change' back in '8 and caught on a couple years earlier. I love the trio of their pre-breakup albums but probably listen to Seeds of Love the most since it sounds so nice going to sleep to. Talking Heads, Talk Talk, Durandy & TFF = Best week yet?

LOVE LOVE LOVE. I might just agree with you that The Hurting is their best album. So urgent and emotional. Not quite bombast of Big Chair, and certainly not the even more refined sound of Seeds.

I'll have to see if I can hunt down the Defiance soundtrack now (if there even is such a thing) You get kind of duped at first as the beginning sounds the same – but once those horns kick in, it's like a whole different world.
