Career
They debuted in 1982 with their self-released single “Lions In My Own Garden: Exit Someone” - songwriter Paddy McAloon wanted a song title where the first letters of the words spelled out “LIMOGES” (where his former girlfriend was staying at the time). Their debut album Swoon was released on the Kitchenware record label in early 1984. The following album, the Thomas Dolby-produced Steve McQueen, (released in America as Two Wheels Good when McQueen’s estate expressed their displeasure with the title) was highly praised by critics, prompting McAloon to remark: “I’m probably the greatest songwriter in the world, you know.” Subsequently, they recorded Protest Songs which was however not released until 1989. It included the song “Life of Surprises”, which later became the title track for their greatest hits compilation.
Their biggest commercial success in the U.K.

Hm, I'm starting to like it more. I just can't help thinking how good it would have been with a full-fledged production...

It really is a bit uneven to my ears. Maybe I expected a bit too much from this record...

"I know I'm probably the best writer on the planet. Seriously. Seriously -- I just know it! " - McAloon 1985, well I believe him

In reply, remember that the 'new' album is technically only a collection of demos, with EVERYTHING played by Paddy McAloon. Consequently it may not be as lush and textured as you might desire, but in my opinion this only adds to it's charm. I think it's a masterpiece.

IMHO, their "new" album is a disappointment. Too weak (musically) and too predictable.

Love the new Album. I know it is based on demos from 1992 , but it really misses the contributions of Wendy Smith and Thomas Dolby. Probably my favourite purchase of the year!

"Let's change the world with music" is, in my humble opinion, a fantastic pop album. The music might not be new (being kept "hidden" in a desk drawer for over ten years), yet it sounds fresh and carries so much spirit into the new millenium. Yes, I love it.

The new album is genius! Earth The Story So Far, Falling In Love, Sweet Gospel Music - up there with the best ever.

Not that new of an album... I like having Paddy back, but I must say I got disappointed when i knew it's stuff from the early 90s. Listening to it though, of course.
