This one is the only decent Utopia album. Only half is good enough to pass the hypno-test.
MOOG and Sequential Circuits Prophet5 (all engineered and built by hand in the USA) here:
BADASS Synthesis. Real Synthesis. No Preset poosie stuff (presets didn't exist in 1980).
Perty badarse guitar.
Perty badarse bass.
Perty badarse drummin'.
Perty badass lip-flappin, also:
....duuhhhh, I just realized that this is a good morning song. Oh,twell.
GOOD MORNING!!!!!!

Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

The latest weather forecasts say we might end up getting up to a foot of snow!! 
Toto, I have the feeling we're not in Georgia anymore ...
Anyway, that brought to mind the following tune which of course is about an entirely different matter altogether but the title is still apt!
Black Sabbath did a different song with the same title but I know some folks have a problem with Ozzy so I thought this might be the better choice ...
"Snowblind"
Mirror, mirror on the wall
The face you've shown me scares me so
I thought that I could call your bluff
But now the lines are clear enough
Life's not pretty even though
I've tried so hard to make it so
Mornings are such cold distress
How did I ever get into this mess
I'm snowblind, can't live without you
So fine I just can't get away
Now I'm snowblind, snowblind, snowblind
Harmless and innocent you devil in white
You stole my will without a fight
You filled me with confidence, but you blinded my eyes
You tricked me with visions of paradise
Now I realize i'm
Snowblind, can't live without you
So fine I just can't get away
Now I'm snowblind, snowblind, snowblind
Mirror, mirror I confess
I can't escape this emptiness
No more reason to pretend
Here comes that same old feeling again
Snowblind, can't live without you
So fine I just can't get away
Won't you throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the third time
I'm snowblind, and I can't get away

And just because I felt like listening to this again ...
"Lay It On The Line"
It's the same old story all over again
You turn a lover into just another friend
I wanna love you
I wanna make you mine
Won't you lay it on the line
I'm tired of playin foolish games
I'm tired of all your lies makin me insane
I don't ask for much the truth will do just fine
Won't you lay it on the line
Chorus:
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don't waste my time
You got no right to make me wait
We better talk girl before it gets too late
I never ever thought you could be so unkind
Won't you lay it on the line
Chorus
You know I love you, you know it's true
It's up to you, girl,now what've I got to do
Don't hold me up, girl, don't waste my precious time
Won't you lay it on the line
Chorus

Hypno, it's funny you mentioned not liking XTC at first ... I had the exact same reaction initially. My older sister worked at a progressive radio station back in the day and would come home with all kinds of different music that I would ultimately be forced to listen to. I didn't appreciate it at the time but eventually I came to love practically all forms of music as a result ... I even like a few rap tunes (only a few however)!
Anyway, given your mention of the Police, I thought I'd throw one of those in the mix!
I tried to find a live version but the audio was not very good on those ...
