H ourglass and its babbling chorus proved a fine opening salvo from Babylon And On. A video was also made for this single, which if I recall involved Squeeze fooling around on a boat. The nonalbum “Wedding Bells” is a very pleasant surprise--sounding like Split Enz in a few spots, though you could argue that “Hourglass” and “Dirty Creature” are more than a little similar--and completists are advised to seek it out.
