Songs of the Free

Songs of the Free

2008 digitally remastered edition of this album from the British Post-Punk/Funk band, originally released in 1982. Songs Of The Free, the band's third album and first to feature Sara Lee following original bassist Dave Allen's departure in 1981, was the closest they'd come to conventional Pop, thanks to Mike Howlett's crashing but crisp, shiny production and guitarist Andy Gill and singer Jon King's increasing ability to sugar their bitter messages with candy-coated melodies. There's even, in the Falklands-anticipating 'I Love A Man In Uniform', a near-hit single - only a ban by the BBC prevented this clubland favorite from charting higher. Elsewhere, on 'Call Me Up' and the Joseph Conrad-referencing 'We Live As We Dream, Alone', GOF continue to fuse feedback and Funk to startling effect. EMI.
