A sound that skillfully combines new romanticism with a funk sensibility.
The A-side, "Mirror Man," is a song that boldly incorporates soul/funk grooves into a synth-based sound.
The repetitive rhythm, bouncy bassline, and Philip Oakey's cool vocals create a sophisticated urban mood of the early '80s, while the lyrics, which focus on mirroring one's self-image, also sharply reflect the sense of self-presentation in pop culture at the time.
