Europeans – Vocabulary [LP] (1983, A&M Records)

 

Europeans (sometimes referred to as "The Europeans") were a British new wave group formed in 1981 and disbanded in 1985. They released two studio albums and one live album, none of which achieved much in terms of chart position. In 1989, their former keyboard player and co-lead vocalist Steve Hogarth joined Marillion as lead vocalist. 

 
'Vocabulary' is an excellent, powerful, new-wavey, pop-ish art-rock album. very musical and very entertaining without being shallow or banal. Excellent musicians who enjoy what they do are at play. Stand out tracks are "Innocence" and "Spirit Of Youth". Moods and sounds are rich, complex and diverse. Ferg Harper's vocals add a special note as well as Geoff Dugmore's serious drumming does. The production on all tracks is tight, robust but also "airy", meaning, there's a kind of effortlessness immanent that gives room for the drive and discipline the band manages to maintain the whole album through.
