Anyone disagree (or tell me JM wrote most of it). Also, Free Will, Second to None and Some Distant Memory up there with NO's best imo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...b_channel=ElectronicLiveEdited by user 13 August 2024 14:35:10(UTC)

Totally agree about Free Will. An absolute hidden gem of a track. Can remember getting this at 17 and blasting it out with my mates before we went out, couldn’t believe we never heard it in a club.
Some distant memory along with Try all you want are my favourite Electronic tracks. I have always+also loved second nature as well. After every time I hear it I can’t get the song out my head for several days. You don’t have to wait the world will carry on………oh no here we go again.

If we're talking b-sides, I agree "Freewill" reins supreme. But it must be the full "Extended" version. The sub-3 minute edit isn't enough.
No one has mentioned "Lucky Bag". Thought that was a great track as well. I also was surprised that both Electronic and Revenge released songs around the same time that appeared to be influenced by "Theme From S'Express". The aforementioned "Lucky Bag", and "Bleach Boy" by Revenge, which was my favourite track on the "7 Reasons" EP. I much prefer it to the vocal version ("Bleachman") on the Revenge album.

Always been a huge fan of Lucky Bag and Freewill (full versions) - I personally would add Radiation to the list of oft overlooked Bernard tracks.

Just been listening to some Electronic. I'd like to add, Second Nature, I Feel Alright and For You. Nothing groundbreaking, just really well written/arranged songs. IMO NO have struggled to better these since.

‘How long’ on Raise the Pressure is one of Bernard’s lost classics for me.
It has real potential to be amazing.
