People were either introduced to the Psychedlic Furs by Pretty in Pink or the classic tracks Heaven and the Ghost in You. In contrast to Simple Minds' Don't You Forget About Me, Pretty in Pink is an excellent, original band track that just happened to be used in a poor, very dated 80's movie. If you didn't move past these Furs tracks or their parent albums, you're missing a lot. The Furs have just enough original albums/CDs to fill a CD multiplayer: P. Furs; Talk Talk Talk; Forever Now; Mirror Moves; Book of Days; World Outside. We'll forget about Midnight to Midnight (everyone's excused one mistake - '87 - not a good year). All of the compilations (All of This And Nothing, Should God Forget, etc) are excellent, but best to get the 6 original albums. The Furs' eponymous first offering sets the base for the future; it defines post-punk to the same extent as Joy Division, Gang of 4, Teardrop Explodes and Echo and the Bunnymen. It is raw and heavy, with driving original base and drums (India), to rasping rock (Soap Commercial/ We Love You) that makes the live shows kick-ass, to the smooth, smart, subversive Sister Europe and Imitation that create the mold for the classic populist tracks of the Furs circa '82-'84. Talk Talk Talk builds on the raw platform and the '82-'84 albums are classics from a classic age. But if you like the eponymous CD take a listen to the return to heavy of the 1989 Book of Days - entertain me. Then there's arguably the most complete Furs' offering World Outside - brilliant. It is a shame that the Furs could not have continued and like the Cure produced a breath of fresh air every couple of years to clear out the prevailing dross. Draw a line from the Furs to Placebo to Interpol.
