Engineerd by John Caffery
Recorded at Britannia Row, February 1981

A: Je Veux Ton Amour
B: Oyo Achel Ada

ベルギー国内に向けての発売からか、フランス語でのバンド名&タイトルのシングル。タイトル英訳は「I Want Your Love」だが、オリジナル名は「Dirty Disco」。Side BはACR/Blown Awayそのまんまだが、PIL/Flowers Of Romanceリリースと同年なので納得。決してオレには真似出来ないジャケットが最高である。

札幌にも遅い夏が来たと思いきや、已然激務が終わらず、
気持ちが何度も折れている昨今。
何故かACRの12"を数回に渡りお届け。
FactoryではNew Orderと彼らを最も聴いているかも。
誰か曰く、リズムとは打点の連続では無く、その「間」の連続である、と。
1st 収録「Winter Hill」は名曲。
