They’re back! Or rather, they never left! It sounds paradoxical, admittedly, but it hits the nail on the head.
Who doesn’t remember the glory days in the discos in the early 80s! “JUST AN ILLUSION” by these same boys. IMAGINATION blew up every stage, songs like “SO GOOD SO RIGHT” and “BODY TALK” could be sung by almost every teenager by heart. The hard-working boys from England had ten Top Thirty singles in total in the charts at the beginning of the 80s.
Speaking of hard-working: IMAGINATION is pretty much the most travel-loving and gig-loving group in the pop scene: in 1988 alone, IMAGINATION was seen and heard 26 times across the United States. You have been touring the continent continuously since you started in 1980. An astonishing achievement compared to what other “megastars” rack up in terms of touring kilometers over the course of their careers.
IMAGINATION is stronger today than ever. They’re back, which is true in that all of their big hits have been subjected to thorough remixes. A recipe that makes money, both here and there. It seems like the teens have matured with IMAGINATION and IMAGINATION to his fans. “JUST AN ILLUSION” and not forgetting “MEGAMIX” now sound so convincingly state-of-the-art, as if they had emerged yesterday in a New York studio.
Of course, the spectacle will also be accompanied by a new LP. “LIKE IT IS” represents exactly what it means, namely IMAGINATION as you are: versatile, absolute professionals and a true blessing for every, really every stage, large and small.
