The Railway Children - Brighter (Factory)

The classiest record of the week by far. From the pulsing bass to the staccato sub-'Blue Monday' drum break, from the gliding guitars to the smooth, sensual vocals, the Railway Children are almost too good to bear. They - or their producer - know the worth of space, pace and timing within a song. You've room to breathe as every bar flows warmly over you. Smoother and more refined than the previous "A Gentle Sound", the potential of this band takes my breath away. Single of the year so far. (Eleanor Levy, Record Mirror, February 21, 1987)
