A.B.C. are the Bach's of the new age, in my opinion. A classic musical painting, shed abroad the airwaves, like a pure blue wash of color. Only those who know art well, will be enriched by these artist. Unending.

Every time I hear it, "Stranger Things" rings true. Creating a paradoxical track edgy and smooth all at once is true testimony to Martin Fry's craft. Many feel ABC co-founder Mark White was indispensable, but listening to this one wonders. In my view the later work (from ABC) holds up as well as does the first effort, Lex/Luv, which would be, what...33-ish years gone past? ABC's changing cast were ever given short shrift in America, and I really don't understand it, will never understand it. With their uncompromising willingness to experiment, and their sense of style--sonic, thematic, and sartorial--they managed to elevate the bar a notch, maybe two. Count ABC among the best of the so-called New Romantics.

This is one of the most beautiful songs they've ever made. I wished they would play it in their concerts. However, looking forward to see them here in LA in October .Yesss, Martin Fry and Band. Can't wait.

I think Skycraping was their best album/cd ever, and yet it received no air time in the US. Each song is flawless. What a shame!

Anyone who dismisses ABC post Lexicon of Love just doesn't get how very consistent and talented Martin Fry, Mark White and David Palmer are and have proven to be. The greatness of ABC is that they have never been shy about bucking trends or leading new ones. Masters of 80's pop, groundbreakers of the crossover of US House and British pop, and able to still create classy, listenable and basically enjoyable music almost 30 yrs on from that first burst of brilliance.

I wish Mark White, Stephen Singleton, and David Palmer would reunite with Martin Fry. These Guys were Classic ABC. Martin does have a Killer voice!

I hope they reintroduce this into the line-up of their future concerts. It's the best of their "new" songs, in my opinion.

Martin Fry has an incredible voice, an incredible range and a talent to compose some of the most beautiful music ever made. Great song!

@Guenniistes: But Martin agrees in reinforcing it, participating in festivals like "Retro-whatever". I understand he gets to play, but I think he would not have the need to auto-declassify himself as "retro". He's not. "Retro" is a somewhat nonsense term.

First heard this in Seattle in 1997. I cried. ABC songs always touch a nerve in me. Did remixes ever surface from this single?
