After five years of radio silence, Martin Fry regrouped his
group ABC in 1997 for the successful comeback album
Skyscraping. After a break with more dance-pop oriented
albums, the band returned to the beloved and catchy sound
of perhaps the ultimate new romantic pop album, The
Lexicon of Love.
On Skyscraping, Martin Fry has a dream collaboration
with another hero of early 80s pop music: Glenn Gregory
of Heaven 17. The result is a wonderful return to the glory
days of ABC, but this time with half an eye on the new
millennium. The album spawned three singles, all of which
reached the UK Singles Chart, and brought the band back
into the public eye.
Skyscraping is available as a limited edition of 1000
individually numbered copies on white & blue marbled vinyl
and includes an insert.[info sheet from distr.]
