4. Bang!… The Greatest Hits Of Frankie Goes To Hollywood (1993)
“An excellent compilation which I have on CD. Many of the tracks are in my summer music mix and in my gym workout playlists. Shall always remember the video which accompanied ‘Two Tribes’ with the two world leaders in a boxing ring squaring up to each other. ‘Relax’ was a very clever lever, i.e, produce a single which would instantly be banned on the radio due to its then risqué lyrics and then enjoy the route to stardom, following up with three or four other belting chart-toppers.”
3. Twelve Inches (2001)
“There’s two versions of this double CD set – the original German version includes the classic ‘New York Mix’ of ‘Relax’ and the hereto unreleased on CD ‘Video Destructo Mix’ of Two Tribes. The later worldwide version inexplicably replaced these with the throwaway b-side ‘Don’t Lose What’s Left Of Your Little Mind’ and one of those awful dance remixes of ‘Relax’.”

2. Liverpool (1986)
“Looking at their list of recordings you would think they had many albums. Heck, you would think they are still main albums now! But it was really over for these guys in the late 80s. They made two albums, a few singles, and did some cool shows and videos. This is one of those very good albums. Every song is well composed, beautifully played, and just plain well done. Their stuff is catchy but there is so much more than that. There;s deep, political commentary here.”
1. Welcome To The Pleasuredome (1984)
“Welcome to the pleasure dome” is an extremely pleasant 13 minutes listening. At first, you feel like being in the jungle then it moves to something different and keeps on moving. Arrangement guitar, bass, the harmonica is superb. I just find they copy a few lyrics of “Xanadu” by Rush but it does not matter since it is a nice subject. The very energetic “Two tribes” is short but a perfect song. I can only visualize one of the first masterpiece videos of the ’80 (a ring fight between Gorbachev and Reagan). “Ballad of 32” and “Black night white light” sounds like Alan Parsons.”
