Hello all.

I had a crush on a guy I was working with and he came in one day saying that he couldn't get The Dead Heart out of his head.  So I had to find out all about it.  I do remember seeing the video for Power and the Passion though.  Then I saw it much later and could remember loving it the first time I saw it.
But I have to say that Outbreak of Love is the song that threw me over the edge once and for all.
I saw them for WOMAD in 93 or 94 but remember next to nothing.  Finally saw them here in Atlanta at Earthlink, clinging to the stage in wonder!
