The final album of their initial run, containing the hit "You Are the Girl."
This album bridges the gap between classic garage rock and futuristic synth-pop. In a lossless FLAC format, the separation between Elliot Easton’s crisp, rockabilly-infused guitar solos and Greg Hawkes’ quirky, oscillating synthesizer lines is breathtakingly clear. The punchy, immediate basslines played by Benjamin Orr provide a solid, warm foundation that benefits immensely from uncompressed audio playback. 2.

The final album before the band's long-term disbandment in 1988. Move Like This (2011):
Candy-O features a tighter, more polished production style. In high-fidelity, the opening synth riff of "Let's Go" hits with incredible stereo widening, and the driving, persistent drum beats of David Robinson carry a physical weight that compressed formats flatten out. Panorama (1980)
