''Compass Kumpas'' (aka ''Compass kum'pəs'') was the first album from Dalek I Love You, shortened to Dalek I for this album and accompanying singles. It was released on May 24, 1980 by Back Door/Phonogram records. Under their full moniker Dalek I Love You, the band went on in 1983 to record a second self-titled album ''Dalek I Love You''. In 1989 ''Compass Kumpas'' was reissued on CD (Fontana 836 894-2) with 4 bonus tracks. ==Reception== Sounding like a combination of early Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Gary Numan and Brian Eno, the album received fairly good reviews upon its release. The ''NME'' called the album "refreshingly wry and friendly". However, Red Starr, writing in ''Smash Hits'', described the album as a "characterless, colourless collection.〔 It reached #54 on the UK pop charts. The album was ultimately ignored outside of the UK, and before long, Alan Gill left the band to join The Teardrop Explodes, although he returned in 1981. The album still maintains a reasonable cult following, and the single "Destiny (Dalek I Love You)" remains popular among Doctor Who fans for its oblique lyrics referencing the show's menacing villains, the Daleks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Compass Kumpas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
