As with Hans Und Lieselotte, released earlier this year, The Electric Eye finds Logan Sky (keyboardist in Visage’s final line-up) and Steven Jones further refining their once unmodified penchant for 80s pop. Nonetheless – betrayed by sultry title track No Way Out and crooning torch song Christmas In The Machine – their Depeche Mode affinity remains intact. Voltage, however, suggests a latex-clad Pet Shop Boys, while Blood Moon ups the Vangelis quotient. Additionally, Black Clouds adds a S U R V I V E-like dystopian malevolence.

Written by Wyndham Wallace. Released on Etrangers Musiques.
