Review

Liverpool's A Flock of Seagulls are best remembered for lead singer Mike Score's hair (and their Number Ten hit "I Ran (So Far Away)"). The quartet actually scored three lesser hits aside from that archetypal '80s smash. Best of A Flock of Seagulls includes the kinetic "A Space Age Love Song," the cascading, multi-layered "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)," and the sweeping "The More You Live, the More You Love" are also included here. The set is fleshed out with non-hits and album cuts that most listeners will find pleasant but unessential (although the neurotic "Nightmares" is quite fun). It's an interesting curio from synth-rock's heyday and all the Flock of Seagulls that anyone aside from ardent fans or '80s junkies will ever need. [This Japanese release of the album contains bonus material.] ~ Tom Demalon, All Music Guide
