Strange Charm

1986

Strange Charm features a lot of synth bass, with fretless being used only on a couple of tracks. Chris Payne adds a little of his viola magic on the opening track "My Breathing" (co-produced by band-member Ade Orange), and Bill Sharpe writes the music to "New Thing From London Town."
