Sounds like someone who wished they were XTC but were not.  I am normally a sucker for a bit of sax which is what I think that is but I think I'll put this one back where I got it from.

They are "The" Ocean Blue.  Sorry, I will leave now.  Great song, great band.

That´s true, when I first listen the sax, it automatically reminded me Kid Abelha!

Excellent playlist for hours and hours on this sunny Sunday! Wish the weekday plays were this good.

Love their sound—wistful, nostalgic. "Cerulean" is a great album.

Um, you're my age. What were you doing that caused you to miss the 80's?  I hope you were working, raising a family, maybe in the military.... (I was working, but I still had time to listen to music.) {#Mrgreen}

I thought this was Men At Work until I looked at the playlist.

I guess it doesn't really sound much like Colin Hay, but anyway...

This is a classic tune!{#Drummer}

However it is not on the "waterworks" album, its on the self entitled album:

You say that like it's a bad thing? {#Daisy} Haircut 100 had some great songs.  Love Plus One and Snow Girl in particular were fantastic.  I'm going to have to dig out Pelican West now and give it a listen.

as a fellow representative of the nostalgia consitituency .. i also love this band .. was thrilled to find a $3  or $4 used CD a few years ago when I was still buying CDs .. having said that .. anything more than $5 might have been more than I was willing to pay for nostalgia ..

I like it. It reminds me of The Church. Fresh and exhilarating. Of course these days, most people don't actually play their instruments. LOL. Keep this in the playlist and whatever else these guys put out. Sorry to the rest you guys who really don't like the sounds of the 1980's. I'm all for change but I like power music. Shoot for the stars and you might hit one. -Big Will

For all the genre mixing, I think I like 99% of what gets played on Radio Paradise.

This would be an example of the other 1%.
