New Zealand Music Month - Day 28

The Body Electric were another one-hit wonder, with the almost-novelty almost-hit Pulsing. It wasn't so much unrepresentative of the band's sound so much as it was an exaggeration, or even parody, of what the band were trying to do. Their album (and one of the other songs on the Pulsing EP, for that matter) were more subdued synthesizer pop.

The album and its two singles (Dreaming in a Life and Imagination b/w Zanzibar) are long out of print.
