I hear lots of bits of other Manics songs in Brushstrokes of Reunion, but International Blue wasn’t one that hit me so far.
I get vibes/reminders of:
Misguided Missile
A Billion Balconies
Boxes and Lists
Black Square
Cardiff Afterlife
& at least one other track I can’t quite place yet.
Non-manics wise:
Take On Me (Ah-Ha)
Because of You (Dexy’s Midnight Runners - song used for old TV show Brush Strokes(!))
I will happily listen to Eringa-produced Manics for as long they continue to make records, but also agree it would be nice to shake it up a bit, give the man an album or two off.
