Like The Cars & Duran Duran, they remembered rock was about guitars and drums. The guitar parts were prominent even though they used synths heavily, that interplay was there.
The 2 hits they had were cool tines. But, they flamed out much sooner than I expected. Reynolds being pressured to step aside over his drug problems didn't help.
