Listen is the second anthology release past the new wave band A Flock of Seagulls, released on 29 April 1983. It once once again teamed the group with record producer Mike Howlett–who produced their debut album–except on the single release "(It's Not Me) Talking", which was produced by Bill Nelson. The record included the UK Top 10 hit "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)". Other singles released from the album include "Nightmares" and "Transfer Affection". The face on the encompass is of the band'due south drummer, Ali Score.

Reception [edit]

Listen received generally positive reviews. While Tom Demalon of AllMusic retrospectively felt the album was "sterile" and inconsistent, he found the hit "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You) to be "multilayered [and] hypnotic" while also praising the "Nightmares" and "Transfer Affection"[6]

Robert Christgau joked that the album's "aural pleasure" of "whooshes and zooms...and computerized ostinatos" could make Mr. Spock trip the light fantastic toe. He gave the album a B+ rating.[vii]

Re-bug [edit]

Mind has been released with varying rail listings on at to the lowest degree three separate occasions. The original 1983 release, the 1992 CD Beehive label release, 2004 Superfecta Recordings release and the 2010 Cherry Crimson release.

The cassette version and the 1992 CD version (on the Beehive label) take the original LP tracks in a slightly different order, with the additional tracks "Rosenmontag", "Quicksand", and "The Last Flight of Yuri Gagarin" interspersed (although the track listing for the CD edition, printed on the inserts and the disc itself, incorrectly follows the LP track listing above rather than reflecting the disc'south bodily contents).

The 2004 CD version has the ten LP tracks in the order, followed by the three additional tracks "Committed", "Quicksand", and a live rendition of their striking "I Ran (And then Far Abroad)". "(It's Not Me) Talking" was released in 1981, two years before Listen was released on Neb Nelson's Cocteau characterization. The version of the vocal used on Listen is a re-recorded version; as a consequence, the Cocteau version has all the same to encounter a CD release.[viii]

The 2010 Cherry Red release has the ten LP tracks in the order, followed past the B-sides "Committed", "Quicksand" and "Tanglimara" and the remixes of "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You lot)" and "Nightmares".
