I really appreciate how UN-apologetically melodic and lyrical this thing is.
To my ears it has an Midge-Ure-era Ultravox-ish feel to it (entirely different vocal style, though) - but still sounds nice and fresh.
The way dude's voice is front-and-center sort of catches you off guard at first, but then, OK, you get it.
This title track is SO FUCKING CATCHY!

I just got this off my wishlist for #BandcampFriday , at the recommendation from someone while scanning the #music tag here a few weeks ago. I don't recall who, but Thank you!
Only problem is, I can't get past the first track. I want to enjoy this album, but I keep hitting "repeat" to listen to #ElectricSun again.
#RonanHarris sounds like a really interesting guy to have a beer with.
" In the years preceding VNV Nation's debut album, he worked for Q8 Petroleum in central London as an IT manager and was a journalist and webmaster for dark electro magazine Side-Line. "
