Burning Bridges by Naked Eyes
Burning Bridges is an album by Naked Eyes, released in 1983. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 29 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Always Something There To Remind Me”, on 29 lists with a best position of #70.
Burning Bridges, the debut from the English synth-pop duo Naked Eyes, came out on EMI and EMI America on 16 March 1983. In America and Canada it went out simply as Naked Eyes, with two of the tracks bumped down to B-sides.
It's glossy, melancholy new wave, keyboards sparkling like a cocktail bar at closing time. The big one was "Always Something There to Remind Me", which barely scraped to 59 in Britain but reached number 8 in the States in July 1983. "Promises, Promises" followed it to 11 and "When the Lights Go Out" to 37. Strangely, the album didn't turn up on CD until 2012, when Cherry Red finally put it out.
