I cannot believe I never knew this song and I had never heard the name Jules Shear before (well, not consciously…). Great song, great remix with the sound of the drums reminding me of New Order´s “Confusion”. I LOVE it. And I am struck with disbelief that he wrote the three songs you mentioned which I absolutely love. How could I miss that?

Thank you, dear Paul. You broadened my horizon. Again. 😉

Song And Dance!! I’m really happy that you love this song too! It has always been a favorite of mine. You are absolutely correct on how the drums do remind one of “Confusion” by New Order. John Robie did assist Arthur Baker on that 12-inch, so it seems appropriate. Also, the trickling sound takes me back to another Robie production for the studio group, C-Bank and the song “Get Wet.” The more you follow an artist you can hear influences they bring into a lot of their productions. I love the instrumental on the flip-side especially because John Robie really… Read more »

Steady was such an amazing song. IIRC, Amiee Mann saw it on MTV and that led to their infamous relationship.

Oh My Goodness Paul!! Sometimes, when you post certain things, I can almost be brought to tears! I love this song so very, very much. As you know, John Robie is my musical idol and I so remember digging in the crates at record shops just to find records with his name involved with the project. It was when I discovered this record by Jules Shear. I loved it so very, very much and it’s been years since I’ve heard it. I am so humbled and grateful and happy to have you bring it back to listeners’ ears after a… Read more »
