Mirrors - Ways To An End

Mirrors are a Brighton band who specialise in 80s retro.  I can hear you yawning already but wait...

This stuff is great fun.  I bought the album after hearing just one track (Into The Heart) and think these guys, who weren't even born when this type of stuff was originally being played, have got it exactly right.

They have clearly done their homework.  The video for Ways To An End http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOBRcG-Dhtg
shows the guys performing along the lines of a slightly more animated Kraftwerk.  There is more than a little OMD and Depeche Mode in there along with a sprinkle of Talk Talk and rounded off with Blancmange as dessert.  And all on analogue synths (good boys!)
