said: It goes without saying that "Blind" captivates any dancefloor. The real story is that Hercules and Love Affair's Andrew Butler should be applauded for anticipating just how brilliant a disco diva Antony could be, and how physically tactile his quavering voice might sound in a club setting. "As a child I knew that the stars could only get brighter," he sighs, and rarely before has innocence lost seemed so tragic. "Blind" doesn't mourn the loss of childhood, but childhood's dreams of a future in which lasting and meaningful connections might be forged. You dance in response because there is nothing else worth doing, and no other way to understand others that will work any better. A bleak vision, and yet it feels of a piece with all of dance music's finest expressions of hopeless, unrequited devotion. "Blind" pays homage to this legacy of disco and primitive house, but also offers its own tremulous rejoinder, "What if I don't just feel alone tonight, but every night?" In doing so, it doesn't introduce existential angst to the dancefloor so much as reveal how its creeping fear was always already there.. --Tim Finney
