I love that cut, too. Love that keyboard bass part that comes in at :32. Grand chorus. Memorable video.

The only reason I'm not quite as ebullient about that track in particular, Mike, is because I dig ALL of Welcome To the Real World. But I will grant that radio play and its quasi-religious theme rendered "Kyrie" the most timeless and memorable cut from the album.

I think I only played The Power Station deeper into the ground circa 1985, before So and Back In the High Life dropped. What an exciting time: CD was a new format and I was discovering so much music.

"Black/White," "Don't Slow Down," "Into My Own Hands," "Is It Love" and "Tangent Tears" are all good jams IMO. "Run To Her" is a terrific ballad. Richard Page can s-i-n-g. Can anyone comment on his solo album Shelter Me? It's on my long list of discs to pick up.

Remarkable growth from album to album from this band. Real World was steps ahead of 1983's I Wear the Face; and 1987's outstanding Go On . . . was leaps and bounds beyond RW. If you don't have that album, grip it. One of the biggest industry headshakers and "Behind the Music" stories (before that show existed) of the 80s is the breakup of Mr. Mister: my understanding is that the band once again matured with its follow up to Go On . . .. RCA refused to release it and, rather than record a different album or radically change what they'd done, they broke up.

How 'bout an expanded remaster of this album, BMG?!
