I've been listening to the so-called Electroclash New Wave revival with pleasure as I found some artist like Miss Kittin & The Hacker or Ladytron really had the spirit of the 80's; daring, frivolous, energetic and open-minded.
Also I'm a keen watcher of reunions of acts who dare to comeback after x years like OMD, Ultravox, Blancmange, Visage ... not necessarily always successful musically or financially.
Jones & Logan are connected to the later, Logan Sky was Keyboarder in the final line-up and Steve Strange introduced them to each other. They work together since arround 2015 and released 4 albums to date.
Accomplished Musicanship meets Neo Romanticism quite succesfully here on the sample of 'European Lovers' I got for review. When Gary Barnacle adds Sax to "Sons Of Hallucinations" paired with french vocals by Charlotte Condemine it's a great pairing immediately revoking past spirits.
Steve Logan himself as main singer is a different chapter, his voice is capaple only of a limited range which he uses cleverly, never mixed too far in the front and kept in sonor timbre it fits the general mood of a slightly decadent and sentimental background drop for late nights.The lyrics might be meaningful but even in the ballad "Past & Future Lives" they leave no lasting impression. In my ears Steve Logan still need to find his voice and perhaps a little more passion, otherwise a whole album full of sentiments without the daring touch is just too much at least for my tastes.
Available as DL and CD with 6 additional tracks and mixes.
