519 The The - Soul Mining

In October of 1983 The The released their debut album. NME’s Don Johnson: "In days when the pop song has been reduced to the reiteration of catch-phrases, Matt Johnson flexes a rare literary flair. More importantly he has the command of music's immense possibilities to carry them through without self-indulgence. Ignore this LP if you must, but you'll be ignoring one of the year's rare heart-stopping moments." Lets talk The The, Soul Mining!
