5th studio album by Danish band TV-2 features British producer Greg Walsh, who had previously worked with Heaven 17, The Associates, Howard Devoto, and Tina Turner. Soundwise, it's not all that different from the predecessor, Nutidens unge (1984). It's mixed by using more tracks, I guess, and there's a sense of wider space with more musical complexity.
Again, the album was released to generally positive reviews and the album more than doubled the sales numbers of the band's previous success. The album remains TV-2's best-selling album to date.
It may not be the band's most coherent nor the overall best album, although, I find that it contains some of the band's best compositions, e.g. "På Skanderborg Station" and "September 1985". I also think that it's the first album where you sense that the band begin to reproduce a certain matrix.
