Blue (Double album)
Blue is the first full-length album from Swiss band Double. In addition to containing updated versions of two of the band's earlier singles ("Woman of the World" and "Rangoon Moon"), the album included the international smash hit, "The Captain of Her Heart", a plaintive, atmospheric, piano-led ballad which was an immediate success throughout Europe (and eventually, the U.S.) upon its 1986 single release. Follow-up singles "Your Prayer Takes Me Off" and "Tomorrow" were less successful.

gollark: I'm sure the US government would mess it up somehow.
gollark: The concept of bias is biased.
gollark: Well, it's easier for a random person to stick microphones in a wall they control than that.
gollark: As in, monitor telephone calls, or get a smartphone or something to send audio data? I don't think either are *that* wildly insecure.
gollark: Which is arguably bad if you're *using* the currency, but means that a shared one is likely to cause politicking/not be adopted anyway.
