NotesEarly Gold collects 15 remastered tracks, hand-picked by the band that in lead singer Jim Kerr's describes as the exciting blur when our music began to shine. The tracks on Early Gold retain a bite and freshness that few artists from this era can match. The sinister drive of Thirty Frames a Second sounds like a template for Interpol. I Travel is like Kraftwerk's Trans Europe Express on a cocktail of ecstacy and steroids that, had it been released in 2006 (instead of 1980), might easily fit along with LCD Soundsystem on the DFA label. Sweat in Bullet anticipates U2's Achtung Baby electronic Eno/Euro disco mélange by a good ten years.
