Momus: Bubble Music – following on that Heaven 17 80s revisit…

Enjoyed this…. hadn’t come across Momus before… know nothing about all his other stuff (should I?). This definitely sounds like an early 80s Japan/Sakamoto/YMO kinda thing (includes samples of “Bamboo Music”) -  Fun!

They came across as likeable still down to earth guys…. and the insight into their Sheffield roots was nice (the scenes with Gregory’s parents).

I loved Penthouse and Pavement at the time… especially this 12″ single of ‘Play to Win’ – which is in a box in our loft and overdue a dusting off and play…
