I like em enough to have a Best Of and Architecture & Morality. Apparently I used to always sing If You Leave when I was a baby as well. :-/

But since you are not, I'll come out and say it:
"LEO SAYER WITH SYNTHESIZERS."
There, I said it (even though it's been said before.)

Maybe so - there was a compilation that one of the Cherry Red offshoot compilation labels put out that had a Leo Sayer track from 1973 (pre-hits) called "Why Is Everybody Going Home?" - the question in the title was readily answered in his later career but that early track wasn't too bad - bit like OMD I s'pose.

Back in the 80's I liked them: Organisation, Architecture and Morality and Dazzle Ships are very good IMO.
There's a recent record live (Architecture and Morality mostly) wich is fine. Souvenir is a classic.

Hate with a passion!
Possibly more than i do Mozza, which is very extreme.

I really like some of their earlier things - Messages is great electro pop.
Unfortunately they did end up in rather a bad way, and McCluskey gave the world Atomic Kitten, didn't he...Would I do it for the dosh. Hmm, yes, think I would, actually.

That clip is utter genius!
In fact, have Triclops ever considered doing the 'Andy M' live?

Liked the odd single. I remember a mate was into them back in the day and then he bought "Dazzle Ships" and hated it. I seem to recall it being quite interesting but it's been years since I heard it.
Andy McLusky gave hope to gyrating geography supply-teachers at school discos everwhere.
