We say
We first featured this in January when it was unsigned and wrote "At the end of the rather wonderful and unique film Donnie Darko, this interpretation of the Tears For Fears 1982 top three UK hit makes perfect sense. Stripped of all but piano and minimal percussion, the vocal is ever more haunting than the original. Dropped by A&M during merger-frenzy (into Universal), the time is right to snap up this hit-in-waiting." We're delighted ex-Virgin Chairman Paul Conroy's label have picked this up, it so clearly should be massive. Radio 1 and Xfm are early supporters and getting strong feedback. This version even takes away the percussion.Contact
