It's not a secret, that, in all of the audiophiles' correspondence with me, the Pet Shop Boys are probably the most cited act. Hahaha, 15 years ago, one of my friends went to Rasputin Records, and spotted a new PSB album, Fundamental. We're not sure if he was bracing to get hit, or wrongly doing the Heisman pose. Nah, in reality, he was "dancing" to the leadoff track, "Psychological."

You don't have to get up, and bust out your dance moves. If you get this on CD, you'll be able to check out the interlocking synth work. If you want to do the solo audiophile thing, sit in the home stereo's sweet spot, and play air synth, so be it. If you sit at the computer, and dig "Psychological," cool. If you don headphones, that's cool, too.

Discovered this LP my first semester at Northern Arizona University, 1979. The assistant manager at Burger King was completing an MBA and had a Kenwood system with Bose speakers. He was kind of dorky but his wife was a stunner and they were moving to Wall Street where someone in his family was holding a job for him.

This record has been a favorite of mine since then but I like On the Edge just as much.

Oh man, it's been years, since I recognized any Sea Level, appearing on my local radio stations.

In the early-80s, my dad was taking me to Golden Gate Park, where I had PAL baseball practice. I recall a radio station introducing Sea Level. The DJ said that they were from the Allman Brothers Band. Chuck Leavell's initials could be pronounced "C. Leavell," and thus, phonetically, it made sense that the band was called Sea Level.
