Review by Yohanes Aditya Wijaya
The album Poison Arrow 嘆きのポイズンアロウ by ABC is a classic 80s pop masterpiece that showcases the band's unique blend of synthpop and new wave. The album features hit singles like "The Look of Love" and "Poison Arrow" that have become timeless classics. The production is slick and polished, with a mix of electronic and acoustic instrumentation that complements the catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics. Lead singer Martin Fry's distinctive voice is the perfect match for the upbeat, danceable tracks and the more introspective ballads. Poison Arrow 嘆きのポイズンアロウ is a must-have for fans of 80s pop and anyone who appreciates well-crafted, catchy music that stands the test of time.

During the late '70s, Fry ran his own fanzine, Modern Drugs, while he attended Sheffield University. ABC formed in 1980, after Fry interviewed Vice Versa members Mark White (guitar) and Stephen Singleton (saxophone) for his fanzine. The two musicians asked Fry to join their band as a vocalist, and he soon became part of the group; the lineup also featured drummer David Robinson and bassist Mark Lickley.
Soon, Fry had taken control of the electronic band, he recruited as producer to steer them in a more pop-oriented direction and renamed the group ABC. By the fall of 1981, the band had signed a record contract with Phonogram Records, which agreed to distribute ABC's own label, Neutron.
