Had to check Wiki to make sure this was the same band as Take My Breath. Wow, what possessed them to change tack so dramatically...still can't have done their bank balance any harm
@simonp @transistorblast I forget sometimes I'm the oldest person on the internet. :) If you aren't familiar with Berlin's old (good) music, don't miss this one (sorta NSFW): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqNFKWMuYM4 That song was the talk of my smalltown high school.
Oh god, I had totally forgotten this song. I remember painstakingly transcribing the lyrics and trying to translate them into Swedish. They made no sense at all, since I misheard probably 75% of the words, so it didn't make any sense. Wow, thanks for this walk back through memory lane. (/goes off to buy it)

@BoringPostcards Don't feel too old there! I'm pretty sure I could pick up some overlooked UK gems from a similar era...

Berlin was incredible in the early 1980's!

This song was always the highlight of their first album for me.
