4 stars Issued in the midst of Bill Nelson's early 1980s creative boom, the Love That Whirls presents thinking man's New Romantic. It's synthpop, yes, but synthpop with substantially more complexity than what a lot of the competition were offering at the time, and coupled with a knack for wry lyrics. In its extended instrumental passages (indeed, some tracks are entirely instrumental) Nelson takes off from a musical landscape which might have had some familiarity to pop listeners of 1982 and ends up in territory which feels alien and unique to him. Diary of a Thinking Heart? Well, it's much better than the Owner of a Lonely Heart...
