Wow, what a comeback after their sophomore slump with Real to Real Cacophony! Not one piece of filler on Empires and Dance. The sequencing is perfect too. Highlights include "I Travel", "Celebrate", "Twist/Run/Repulsion", "Thirty Frames a Second", and "Kant Kino". It sounds like a British record that came out in 1980, but that's a good thing from my point of view, since some of my favorites tunes came out in the early eighties. The epitome of New Wave.
When I listen to Empires and Dance, I can't help but think if Real to Real Cacophony was an in-between album. They needed to made that disappointing album in order to create the excellent Empires and Dance.
