The Lexicon Of Love is the debut album from ABC and in my opinion is probably their finest hour

The Lexicon of Love II is the ninth studio album by English band ABC. It was released on 27 May 2016 on Virgin EMI, eight years after their previous album Traffic. After a performance of ABC's studio album The Lexicon of Love in concert with Anne Dudley, lead singer of the band Martin Fry felt that it was time to develop a proper follow-up to the album. He wrote over 40 songs for the album with various guest writers and recorded the album with himself and Gary Stevenson producing.

Now pruned to just Martin Fry – albeit with Anne Dudley ladling string arrangements over everything – ABC have deliberately chosen to invoke the memory of their most fondly regarded album The Lexicon of Love, though Fry contends it reflects the more mature attitudes accumulated in the 30-odd intervening years. Hence the Confessions Of A Fool which gives the project its best moment, a mea culpa over youthful indiscretions and machinations aptly set to a fatalistic descending chord structure. We’ll tell you what’s true. You can form your own view.

LP (12" album, 33 rpm), Remastered. No rhythm in cymbals, no tempo in drums, love on arrival, she comes when she comes. The albums sound is dated; you can tell it is 80's pop within the first 30 seconds so you probably can't put forth the argument that it is "timeless". But for what it is, pure 80's pop/dance, you are not going to get much better.

The Lexicon of Love stands as a landmark album in British pop. The synthetic Eighties' drum-thwaks and Chic-esque bass lines sound better now than ever. It gave disco a whole new vocabulary and helped pave the way for the dance movements of the late Eighties and Nineties. I hold in my hand three letters," announces Fry on "Alphabet Soup". Vitamin A, vitamin B and vitamin C". No prescription needed; no supplements required. The "Lexicon Of Love" is the critically acclaimed chart-topping debut album by British pop band ABC, released in 1982. It is a concept album in which the singer experiences heartache as he tries and fails to have a meaningful relationship. It was produced by Trevor Horn, engineered by Gary Langan, and featured orchestration by Anne Dudley and Fairlight CMI programming by .
