They took a different path to the Pet Shop Boys (who they are often compared) in the late 80s, remaining more poppy rather than dancey, apart from the 1989 song 'Drama!' which actually sounds a bit ahead of its time and early eurodance with the production so would have to be my fave of there's. However 'A Little Respect' is a fantastic song imo.

Pop! is also one of those rare fantastic compilations that showcases a pretty strong run of singles. Their self titled album is pretty darn amazing and completely underrated, a shame it pretty much killed all interest in them at the time as it's such a brave and interesting album for a pop group to make. My tracks of choice would be A Little Respect, Drama!, You Surround Me, Chorus, Joan, Breath Of Life, Am I Right?, Always, Take Me Back, All Through The Years, Fingers and Thumbs, Rescue Me, Sono Luminus, Angel, So The Story Goes, Ship of Fools and Blue Savannah.

I love the old choral vibes and there is just something special about the song. grVrDsqQdXc I don't know muc of there other material, I've heard one or two other songs but they didn't snatch me as hard as Gaudete did.
