Falling | Blue Peter Band

Release Date: May 17, 1983 (Party at Hampton Court, Downstairs in Studio Cabaret/415 Jarvis Street)

With Falling, Blue Peter was looking for the next phase. Helmed by British producer Steve Nye (Japan/Roxy Music) this album presents romantic songs backed with a new sonic depth. From the funk of "Unchained Heart" to the sparse declaration of independence that is "Burning Bridges" the band had matured after four short years. The Blade Runner inspired video for the perennial dance track - "Don't Walk Past" was the first Canadian indie label video to appear on MTV in the U.S.
