You may recall the A-side from the most recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/2015\/09\/various-artists-systems-of-romance-vol-7-8\/\">SOR compilations<\/a>, but until now I haven&#8217;t seen the flip floating around anywhere. The A-side is a bona fide classic, with solid baritone vocals, a catchy chorus, and cold synths galore. Even the uncharacteristic guitar solo is a welcome slice of heaven. The flip is more of the same, similar vibes all around.<\/p>\n<p>I wish I could tell you more about this single, but this is all that Nick Haward ever recorded, and the only release on Cradle Music Incorporated. If you dug the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.systemsofromance.com\/blog\/2011\/04\/ahab-party-girl-7\/\">Ahab<\/a> single, Five or Six&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZV3eaIRewCY\">Another Reason<\/a>,&#8221; and some of the catchier Eyeless in Gaza singles, this one will definitely make your ears happy.
