Talk:Real to Real Cacophony

Singles
Is it definitely correct that 'Changeling' was released in November 1980? Surely it would have been November 1979? It was the non-charting follow up single to 'Life In A Day' of May 1979 and the next single after 'Changeling' was 'I Travel', which was released in September 1980 from the Empires and Dance album of September 1980. I can't check charts for the time - it didn't chart. Big80sFan (talk) 13:51, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Album title
Surely the whole point of the original album title is that its a pun ("Reel to Real" as opposed to "reel to reel", as in reel-to-reel tape recording? Isn't this "new" title just the product of some ignoramus at EMI Virgin?--feline1 14:08, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm confused. Wasn't the original title "Reel To Real Cacophony"? I have this album on vinyl, purchased in 1982, and its title is "Reel to Real Cacophony". 68.148.172.103 (talk) 16:40, 1 June 2011 (UTC)James Birkbeck

Not a "synth-pop" album
Someone has added "synth-pop" as a genre based on an article in Paste, which when actually read describes the album as "proto-synth-pop" and a "transition" between post-punk and synth-pop. The supplied Record Collector review also describes the album as a "bridge" between those two genres/eras. It's clearly a rock album that happens to use some synthesizers. Not synth-pop.
