Notes

Contains this write-up on The Church:

Strange how The Church, who cut one of the greatest out-of-nowhere singles of the last decade ("The Unguarded moment," in 1982) took six more years to break in the States with Starfish. Well, this track from their soon-come LP Gold Afternoon Fix (which is much better-produced than its predecessor) will no doubt fare even better than their last: "Metropolis" is a simple, brilliantly effective and an obvious choice for first single, as Steve Kilbey's breathy croon wafts gently over the song's lush and pristine shimmer.
