Stay With Me Tonight

7" (1980)

A Stay With Me Tonight
B Brushing Your Hair

Alex Fergusson’s debut single is a very nice and catchy little electronic pop record. Musically it is strongly reminiscent of Silicon Teens and early Depeche Mode (circa Speak & Spell), which isn’t surprising, given it was produced by the same person – Daniel Miller (under the nickname "Larry Least") Mute Records supremo, the man behind The Normal and Silicon Teens projects. Highly recommended to all fans of early Mute Records output and good old electropop music in general.
