Описание:

F abrique brings new meaning to the word “poseurs.” The album featured a special promotion from Olympus with a chance to photograph Fashion (plus lots of nice Olympus equipment) as first prize. If PiL gave lip service to the idea of band as business, Fashion slipped it some tongue with this sell-out. Two of the tracks even dovetail conveniently with the camera theme: “You Only Left Your Picture” and “Something In Your Picture.” Coincidence? I shutter to think otherwise. Not that Fabrique makes any pretense to principles. The music is blatant product, designed for the dancefloors of dissatisfied urbanites who sought the illusion of substance when their bodies stopped long enough to listen. On that front, Fabrique delivers: the opening “Move On,” “Love Shadow” and “Streetplayer - Mechanik” all found their way into the fashionable discotheques. Fashion ultimately fell shy of the new wave/club crossover stars (Culture Club, The Human League, ABC), relegated to a minor role in the movement and set to the sound of “I’m a bit player.” Whatever Fabrique’s shortcomings, producer Zeus B Held can’t be held responsible for them. His production is right at the cutting edge of clean and atmospheric club music, which allows Fabrique to age better than it might otherwise (noting that club music from the ‘80s generally doesn’t age well at all). There’s a chance that some musical sensibilities awakened in the care of Fashion, and no doubt a small cadre of fans exist who remember them fondly (presumably the same people who can name more than one Haysi Fantayzee song). For them, Cherry Red released an expanded version of Fabrique as The Height of Fashion, including 12-inch mixes like the inconceivable reggae reprise of the subdued “You Only Left Your Picture.” Connoisseurs of the early ‘80s new wave/club sound have been inclined to make more of Fabrique than me, and perhaps it is a minor classic among its kind. But big fish or not, it’s a very shallow pond.
