Gang Of Four - Is It Love (EMI)

There's only two left of the original gang of post-punk revolutionaries. And a smoother, tingling dance sound has replaced their taut, roughed-up funk-rock. This explores the love maze with an intensity that makes most of this week's singles sound pale. Ethereal girls' vocals are set against a reluctant admission that's all the more affecting. Although The Gang Of Four are famous for their theorising and political awareness, they hit at the heart. (Lynn Hanna, No 1, August 20, 1983)
