Tears For Fears
Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith's debut album as Tears For Fears appeared smack dab in the middle of the '80s UK synth-pop invasion, but it was no mere pop trifle. THE HURTING is full of sophisticated production and accomplished songwriting, using the electronic tools of the day in the service of highly evocative, emotive songs. While it was successful, the follow-up SONGS FROM THE BIG CHAIR made the duo international stars and turned out one hit single after another. Despite another hit in '89 with "Sowing the Seeds of Love," the band's fanbase quieted down as the years passed, but a cover of the melancholy "Mad World," featured prominently in 2001 film DONNIE DARKO showed that the world had not forgotten.
