Damn, Curt Smith's STILL got it. Sure, I generally root for anyone named "Curt/Kurt" but Tears for Fears is the simply best. 😜

Tears for Fears, Songs From The Big Chair, 1985 on Mercury
Sophomore album from Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, following The Hurting. Hard to imagine trying to follow up that record, but this went to number one in the US. “Shout” and “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” fueled that success.
They’ve been touring again in support of The Tipping Point but I’ve not managed to see them (other than via YouTube).
Like (much of) The Hurting, produced by Chris Hughes (who had previously been a drummer in Adam and The Ants under the alias Merrick).
My copy—via Waterloo Records in Austin TX—is a PRC Richmond pressing from the mid eighties.

Tears For Fears / The Seeds Of Love (1989); Ein opulentes Studioepos, das Artpop, Soul und Jazz zu einem vielschichtigen Klanggebilde verschmelzen lässt – getragen von großem Gestaltungswillen und spiritueller Tiefe. Der Opener klingt wie ein psychedelisches Gebet, „Woman in Chains“ vereint feministische Wucht mit orchestraler Eleganz. #TearsForFears #CurtSmith #RolandOrzabal #Pop #JazzPop #PopRock #IndiePop #SoulPop
