"All I Want" was one of the early singles from Cloudcuckooland, the 1990 debut by the Lightning Seeds. Ian Broudie steers it: he wrote it with Peter Coyle and produced it himself, with Cenzo Townshend engineering, and it wears a neat, sunny pop polish.
The record pulled in a couple of Liverpool friends as guests, OMD's Andy McCluskey and the Icicle Works' Ian McNabb. Looking back, AllMusic's Dean Carlson pointed to "All I Want" and "Pure" as proof that likening the band to a less theatrical Pet Shop Boys was no insult.
