Now I can really feel old. Eighties nostalgia is in full effect. Heather Duby has latched on to this trend and produced the heavily Eurythmics inspired Post To Wire . Such a direct inspirational link leaves a listener cold, but Duby really sells it, and adds some credible songwriting to the mix resulting in a pleasant listening experience.
