I like Flock of Seagulls more if I don't have to look at their hair!

"DNA" - Awesome instrumental; really deserved the Grammy award. The guitar phrasing reminds me quite a bit of Ron Strykert on the first two "Men at Work" albums.
"I Ran" - U2 meets Men at Work for a classic 80s song with a classic dealy chord riff and chorus.
"Space Age Love Song" - Great feel and flow, seems to be begging for a chorus. But I do gotta say, that I really like it! It's enthusiastic and relentless, so it gets the job done.
"Wishing (I Had a Photograph of You)" - Not bad; though a little bit run of the mill. Maybe the percussion could have been a tad more interesting, and it could have been an instrumental with the keyboard doing all the melody, since it does most of it anyways.
Star Rating: 7 out of 10 Prime Cuts: "DNA", "I Ran" Bottom Line: A strong atmospheric music band from the eighties, doing what they do best.
