2) World At A Glance were a New York quartet from the late Eighties, who had a deep desire to be British dance poseurs. As singer David Ilku affects a mild finishing school accent, Michael Lawrence shoots off impressive guitarisms that would sound at home on an Ultravox record; guest keyboardists (including producer Chris Lord Alge) fill in the stylistic gaps. (For credibility's sake, drummer Doug Bowne was a Lounge Lizard.) While inarguably accomplished, World at a Glance, with its echoes of Duran Duran, Simple Minds, Japan, Bill Nelson, U2 and others, is a little redundant. However their music is definately worth listening too.
