It’s natural for The Friends of Distinction to take a stab at ‘Grazing In The Grass [Can You Dig It]’ considering her long-professed love for Depeche Mode. When you buy a The Friends of Distinction album, you know exactly what you’re getting! On the Luxembourg charts, superstar The Friends of Distinction’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Golden Classics constantly brilliant.
Going In Circles is a song to enjoy for years to come. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Love Or Let Me Be Lonely is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything The Friends of Distinction released so far. I Really Hope You Do make listening to The Friends of Distinction like being in some sort of time warp. This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely. Down I Go is another strong production from The Friends of Distinction. Didn’t We is maybe the best thing the group’s ever done. Great Day still maintains something of a specific flourish. Simple and heartfelt closing track Let Yourself Go closes Golden Classics on a high note. I Don’t Matter To Me is simple, dignified and effective, The Friends of Distinction refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. Lonesome Mood - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. If you are a The Friends of Distinction fan, you will love I’ve Never Found A Girl.
