Difficult Shapes is a great debut album from the sadly-defunct China Crisis. The main Steely Dan connection here (to me) is the vocals. Beyond that, CC are definitely their own band. There is less polish and more uptempo tracks than on a typical SD album. The lyrical content does not approach the cryptic nature of SD. Anyway, I guess I'd regard this as something of a synthpop album, but it also contains nice jazzy undertones. It is highly melodic and pleasantly uplifting. Imagine Depeche Mode but with more propulsive rhythms, and brighter, with no drugs or clinical depression

Wishful Thinking" is a song by English band China Crisis, released as the third single from their 1983 album Working with Fire and Steel – Possible Pop Songs Volume Two. It reached in the UK charts in early 1984, becoming their only top 10 hit single in that country. The song is their biggest and most well-known hit, and is included on numerous compilation albums  . The track "Some People I Know to Lead Fantastic Lives" is taken from the band's debut album Difficult Shapes & Passive Rhythms, Some People Think It's Fun to Entertain, although the remix on this 12" single remains exclusive to this release.
