THE COLOUR OF SPRING

1. Happiness Is Easy for Mark's voice, the latent orchestration based on captivating piano-bass, the school's youth choir, the cello and the invasive trumpet, this progression that restores the nobility of new wave with its ethereal keyboards; a slap with Steve Winwood on keyboard, beautiful people in addition 2. I Don't Believe in You yes I don't believe it, there is a fresh and colorful avant-garde sound in this track; an airy movement, a sexy groove, the drums that hit you in the heart, I find a mix of JAPAN and ROXY MUSIC for this hypnotic, mantra-like tune with Robbie's catchy guitar solo playing with the PRETENDERS and McCARTNEY, another distinctive sign of value 3. Life's What You Make It follows, rhythmic pad, jerky, languid vocal, whispered in the distance. The repetitive track with tinkering and David Rhodes' guitar, yes, Peter Gabriel's for the fade-in, a bit too tranquil, his guitar avoiding the conventional air. 4. April 5th for the vocals over the piano, the enlightened sounds found that highlight his voice; a hint of TEARS FOR FEARS, SIMPLE MINDS, the tenderness of a more colorful DIRE STRAITS with the Dobro resonator, the perfect drift that sends shivers down the spine almost 40 years later. That latent voice that reminds me of the beginning of 'Such a Shame', yes, I still have it etched in my head; in short, the perfect solemn track not to be listened to on April 5th or all day on replay. The sovereign organ that plays with the piano and slide guitar on the crystal fade-out.

5. Living in Another World for the solemn slap, we leave one Olympian track to enter another; Acoustic country opening, languid keyboard, and Mark attacks with his suave voice; a beautiful, easy, and addictive crescendo on the voice, on the fruity keyboards that no longer have anything minimalist like what could be criticized in new wave; long but addictive 6. Give It Up in mid-tempo, airy, solemn, and its staging of keyboards that carve out the spotlight; David still reels off his notes like sprinkling a fruit pie, torturing his strings, like on a KING CRIMSON from the 90s, yes, in the future 7. Chameleon Day for the leading trumpet in the night, a Variophon synth in fact that gives the intimate atmosphere of this short track highlighting the tortured, raw vocals 8. Time It's Time and 8 minutes to conclude the album with a drawn-out romantic-spleen ballad that doesn't add much in my opinion and can be boring given the previous tracks! Yes, I'm objective.
