The Seeds Of Love

Tears For Fears are at the opposite end of the hipster spectrum to a band like Slowdive. They made an LP at the end of the ’80s called The Seeds Of Love, which is so beautifully produced and so ambitious, that they had a bit of a rough time with it. But history has proved it to be one of the great pop records of the ’80s. It’s pretentious, it’s over the top, it’s pompous, and I adore it! It’s a brilliant, brilliant pop record that was very soon so completely out of fashion, with grunge around the corner, but time has been very kind to it.
