A masterpiece single that beautifully blends new wave and classical lyricism.
As the title suggests, this is a unique hit song that will go down in electronic pop history, incorporating a 3/4 (waltz) rhythm.
Layers of cool, crystalline synthesizers, minimalist, restrained beats, and Andy McCluskey's somewhat ephemeral vocals combine inorganic electronic sounds with historical themes to create a romantic and mystical atmosphere. The composition, which prioritizes quiet uplift over flashiness, stood out even among the synth pop of the time.
