Edit: so it’s just a single I totally have the MVII album in literally every format, and have listened to it routinely since 1987 I do wish there was whole Andy Taylor set with the same vibe as “When the Rain Comes Down”. Is there?? @Robbie C. are you talking about “Thunder”? The song is indeed not on the "Thunder"-LP. I just received this album today on vinyl. I would still recommend it though!

Is there?? @Robbie C. are you talking about “Thunder”? I am. I like it, especially "French Guitar." Must be the jazz roots showing, but I do have a preference for instrumentals. As far as I know, "Thunder" is the only album he ever did solo. There might be bootlegs or something out there...never really went looking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 You guys probably realize that Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols also worked on the “Thunder” album with Andy. Of course, Steve had a song on the same episode and MV album as Andy. “Well now, ain’t that cozy” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the fascinating things about music in the '80s; the sheer number of more or less unpublicized collaborations like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, “Home by the Sea” (from “Genesis”). I suggested to a video-making member years ago to put some “Phil the Shill” footage to that song (opening with Phil looking out his big window), and he totally did it! Only the aspect ratio is off Still pretty cool though: Edited May 4, 2019 by Dadrian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of night scenes, I always picture the Testarossa driving across one of the causeways at night with the first few seconds of this song, with the remainder of it playing in the background of whatever scene followed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been fantastic! Apparently this was released in 1989 (I think) and man, it is just beautiful. Pretty much anyone who has ever been put on hold knows this tune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh Burne Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Ah, the song that every Vice music guide used to claim was David Bowie's '82 re-do of "Cat People". Maybe they switched tracks at the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
