Flock of Seagulls' guitarist Paul Reynolds was really good. When the band came out I thought they were the high water mark of new romantic fops, with the singer's hair like a bird's crest and their chef's jackets. But the guitar playing was exciting. It's hard to imagine songs like I Ran and Space Age Lovesong would have been any good without his atmospheric stabbing guitar songs taking the melody in new directions. Excellent picking skills. A great ear for a pop hook. What a good player he was.

This video is cheap and a bit sh!t. Check out when singer Mick is trying to run away from the young woman and is feeling the walls like a mime artist. For god's sake he's never going to get away unless he puts some real effort in.

Ah, why does this video immediately make me think of Radio with Pictures and Karyn Hay...

So that's Flock of Seagulls.. I've heard the song but I didn't know who it was.

Barron Knights do a good version of I Ran...something about a ram with immoral intentions chasing the singer....and I Ran
