POP GOES GREAT BRITAIN!

"I won't let you down/won't let you down again." The classic single emerges in the shape of Ph.D. In the way of all true pop, who Ph.D are is relatively unimportant, it's what they sound like that counts. The new pop lays claim to its own statuesque ballad form led in by Ph.D's one track and New Order's "Temptation."
