[Mr Bill]

I picked this sup when it first came out but wasn't much impressed with it. Learning that Annie Lennox's hit was by these guys, I decided to give it another listen. Compared to what I hear on the radio these days this one isn't as bad or "so-so" as I recall. The sound is fairly typical of what many new wave acts were doing at the time as punk/new wave/etc was being edged out by grunge and hip-hop.
