The first of two EPs released in 1984, ''Remote Luxury'' is one of the more subdued works in The Church 's catalog. The release carried on the mix of guitars and keyboard effects of the previous year's '' Seance '', but this time in a lighter, more acoustic setting. Without any standout singles, it made little commercial impact, but showcased guitarist Marty Willson-Piper 's lead vocals for the first time since 1982 's '' The Blurred Crusade ''. The EP has the dubious distinction of containing what is widely considered the band's worst recorded song, "Maybe These Boys."
