I did smile a bit when he talked about Tears for Fears using older musicians in the Seeds of Love Album .. Their first album has nothing by way of credits on the inner sleeve or cover, but if you check out Songs From the Big Chair you will find the following fabuulous artists in their own right, Mel Collins on sax, Andy Davis on Piano, jerry Marrotta (drums and sdid the sax arrangements formerly a Peter Gabriel band man - and on seeds Many Kache on drums is a regular with Peter Gabriel).
These guys were using older musicians from the start and that set them apart from many having their own wonderful musical ideas and searching out great musicians to help them achieve their aims.
If you do not have the Tears for Fears first three albums in your collection (The Hurting, Songs from the big Chair and Seeds of love) I commend them to you - go have a listen on You tube and then when you are hooked go buy the albums, CDs or Hi Res downloads
