Yes, I have loved them since I was a young teenager and never get sick of them.
"Quiet Life" and "Gentlemen Take Polaroids" are the first LPs featuring David Sylvian's "revised/crooner" vocal style and the band's more "New Romantic" sound. "Tin Drum" sees them veering into somewhat artier territory.
I also still love their first two LPs, which the band themselves seem to disown. "Adolescent Sex" and "Obscura Alternatives" are two incredible and very hard LPs of heavy UK funk/disco (more funk than disco really) with very raw and attitude-laden vocals from a much-snottier sounding David Sylvian.
They looked fantastic in those early days. too. Somewhat emotionally dead and very gritty lyrical action, EXCELLENT synth sounds, and fabulous guitar work.
I love them in all their phases.
