Nick Nicely

I tried rewriting Shakespeare's 18th Sonnet (you know, "shall I compare thee to a summer's day," etc.) into a write-up on one-hit-wonder Nick Nicely, but no matter how hard I tried, it could never be as cheesy as his music.
Apparently, his Hilly Fields was a minor hit in 1981, and even though he kept making music, he never received much press ever since. His music, a Lennon-esque synth pop, deserves better than total oblivion, though, and in 2004, Psychotropia was released by Castle. Psychotropia spans his entire output and some unreleased songs, most notably two great songs from 1998.
If you like Paisley Underground stuff, this is definitely worth tracking down.
