Bonnie Tyler - Here She Comes (CBS)

The new Giorgio Moroder-ised version of Metropolis has attracted some well dodgy geezers and boilers ... and why he wants to go and ruin such a great film by accompanying it with such dross as this - who knows? On the heels of the camp-fire favourite Freddie Mercury with his "Love Kills" opus, comes the Welsh wench of mammoth proportions ploughing her way through another track from the movie. Fritz Lang is currently turning in his grave. (Dylan Jones, Record Mirror, October 20, 1984)

Taken from the soundtrack to Metropolis, this could well be Bonnie's biggest hit since she made No.1 with "Total Eclipse Of The Heart". Slower than "Eclipse", it drifts along aimlessly on waves of melodic synthesisers . Besides helping out with Electric Dreams, Giorgio Moroder wrote this song, produced it and presumably contributed the keyboards. This time next year he should be a rich man. (Dave Ling, No 1, October 27, 1984)
