The album, an absolute masterpiece of the entire new wave. The songs are marked by Verlaine's extraordinary guitar phrases. "I remember- Ooh, how the darkness doubled- I recall- Lightning struck itself- I was listening- Listening to the rain- I was hearing- Hearing something else- Life in the hive puckered up my night- A kiss of death, the embrace of life- Ooh, there I stand neath the Marquee Moon"...
