As a child of the 80's and big New Wave fan, was very pleasantly surprised to see ABC released the Lexicon of Love II. Lexicon of Love I is widely considered an 80's New Wave/Pop masterpiece (though I think The Hurting by Tears for Fears was light years better) and now, some 34 years later Martin Fry (the voice and only original member left) went back into the studio with Anne Dudley who did the string arrangements on the original. The result, a fantastic slice of 80's heaven with a bit of an updated sound in parts. Was quite leary of the album, I mean ABC has kinda fallen off the map and pretty much just been touring, but am thoroughly enjoying this album.
