I recently got this album for my dad's birthday since he's a big Toyah Wilcox fan. To my knowledge, you can only get it from remembertheeighties.com (even though it's quite modern) or from the Vampires Rock tour in the UK (which Toyah stars in).
But if you love the 80s music you've got to hear it (or at least Toyah in general)
Toyah Wilcox became famous in the 80s for her alternative pop sci-fi styled punk music. You've probably heard 'I want to be free' or 'its a mystery' if you've heard her.
Here are a few videos of her old stuff, cos I was browsing youtube xp
(incidentally, you can find these all on her greatest hits album, which i give 7-8/10)

Anyways back to the new album.
The new album has all the spirit of her music while being updated and revitalised to a modern age. Therefore it appeals quite a bit more ot the mainstream. The main uniting force of teh song is a stomping beat you can't help but sing along and dance about to. great as background music certainly, and it still keeps that great 80s feel.
8/10
