Fad Gadget - Back To Nature

Fad Gadet's (aka the late Frank Tovey) debut single was this dark but brilliant single 'Back To Nature' released on the legendary Mute label. This for me is more superior to many of the sparse and cold electronic records released around this era, it has a big sound to it, as if it's from a film soundtrack, how he got that sound from a synthesizer is outstanding.

The b-side 'The Box' is also good, but 'Back To Nature' is the stand out track. Fad Gadget released a number of decent singles such as 'Ricky's hand' and 'Fireside Favourites', but for me this release was his finest moment.

Try it out, and leave a comment to say what you think.

There is one etching on the b-side 'No Comment'.
