2008 album from Martin Fry and company, the long-awaited follow-up to their excellent 1997 album Skyscraping "TRAFFIC is 12 brand new songs, and in 2008 it`s a real privilege to be able to compete after 25 years of making music," he says. "These days there has to be a good reason to release an ABC record. It`s a real labour of love. There`s no point in writing a song unless you are inspired."
`The Very First Time` is one of a number of tracks written whilst touring America last year, while `16 Seconds` was written on a tour bus in Europe and reflects on how fast life is in the 21st century. Fry says of the new album "It`s a cosmopolitan record and it`s about today - about the journeys people are making today, country to country, internet traffic, human traffic, moving from the past to the present to the future."
"i have been waiting for this new ABC cd since i heard the first whisperings of a new album. the music is great! Very ABC! but not a "stuck in the 80`s" sound. it`s fresh and modern but with that incredible melody, harmony, smooth production, and clever "rhyming couplets" that fans like myself want from Martin Fry."-I Miss The 80s.
