Felix NEill

On “Lips That Would Kiss,” Reilly’s first single after "Return Of The Durutti Column", you can already hear him reaching for the kind of form he would perfect in the following years. Where some of "Return’s" compositions were a bit... stringy, here his melodies peer from a thicket of gorgeous, glinting chord constructs.

Meanwhile the quietly ticking drum machine patterns (presumably provided by producer, Martin (Zero) Hannet), perfectly complement this combination of liquid movement and harmonic sculpture. The b-side, “Madeleine,” covers similar territory.

Ripped from the original vinyl with full artwork.
