Information AboutCompass Kumpas (album) |
''Compass Kumpas'' aka '''''Compass kum'pəs''''' was the first album from Dalek I Love You . It was released in June of 1980 by Back Door/ Phonogram records. Sounding like a combination of early OMD , Gary Numan and Brian Eno , the album received fairly good reviews upon its release. The NME called the album "refreshingly wry and friendly". It reached #54 on the UK pop charts. The album was ultimately ignored outside of the UK , and before long, Alan Gill dismantled the band to join The Teardrop Explodes . The Album still maintains a reasonable Cult Following , and the single "Destiny (Dalek I Love You)" remains popular among Doctor Who fans for its oblique lyrics referencing the show's menacing villains, the Dalek s. As Of 2005 , the album is long out of print.
