I remember hearing "Love Is A Wonderful Colour" by The Icicle Works in 1983 on the radio.  I had never heard anything like it before.  The lyrics were eloquent, they were sung in an unusual style and the music was big, orchestral like in its composition.  I recorded it off the radio (the in thing at the time!) and the cassette was on rewind and play on this song for weeks until I could sing along perfectly. Always on the lookout for new bands to follow, this band were on my list.   Subsequent albums after this debut were also readily acquired!

In 1983 with MTV only being shown on "cable" TV (which only those in the higher wages bracket could afford at the time) I saw much of the video channel in friends' houses.  All we had to see our favourite music was Top Of The Pops, kids' shows like Razzmatazz and Cheggers Plays Pop, the morning shows Tiswas and Swap Shop and the much maligned The Tube.   During the years of 1983 to 1986 most of the favourite artists' of mine either appeared or rose to fame in these times.  I first saw Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video on a videocassette at my friend's house and admittedly it scared me at first!  I just expected a music video not a horror film!
