Song title: Hard, Fast and Beautiful
Artist: Cinerama
Album title: Va Va Voom
Year: 1998
Genre/Style: Whatever the Pet Shop Boys and Erasure is (Gay New Wave?)
Record label: Cooking Vinyl
City/Country of Origin: The UK
Personal notes: I heard this song on KURE (ISU's Campus Station) here in Ames. The lyrics contain the sentimental tripe that really turns my crank. Since this is one of Cinerama's earlier tunes, it doesn't contain a lot of the weirder/braver instrumentation that makes the band click. Also, considering that Cinerama has a revolving door policy for band members (save frontman David Gedge), their sound changes drastically from album-to-album.
