Spandau Ballet - Instinction (Chrysalis)

Or how wizard producer Trevor Horn saved the Spans from the dumper. The band's last few singles were justifiable flops. They junked toe-tapping tunes in favour of self-conscious whimpers. But Horn has put them back on course. He's turned this track (originally on the Diamond LP) inside out and added all those magical ingredients like synthesised drum cracks and chattering percussion. The real follow-up to "Chant No. 1". (Ian Birch, Smash Hits, April 15, 1982)
