Pro Reviews: Standing on Ceremony

  • All Music Guide

    The fulllength debut by Figures on a Beach features the glorius "No Stars," a swelling, romantic tune with a memorable melody and gossamer production. While the group's two indie releases from 1983 and 1984 were complex and melodic synth pop with a slightly arty edge, the comparatively slick production of this album (by New York remixer Ivan Ivan, who had recently done good work with the fairly similar though more airy Book of Love) makes these songs sound underwritten. Songs like "Rhythm" and the mildly overthetop "Pagan Gift" feel like empty exercises, and even some of the better songs could stand a thorough remixing.

Michigan-formed, Boston-based Figures on a Beach played in a New Romantic-derived synth/dance-pop style with intricate arrangements and artsy leanings. The group recorded an independent EP, Swimming, in 1983, and the Don Was-produced single "Breathless" in 1984, but it took another three years for them to deliver a full-length album.
