I Start Counting were one of those mid-80s indie synth pop bands, like Colourbox and Freur, whose hits you probably know and may even have lurking on vinyl 12" somewhere in your loft or garage, but who sadly never made it into the public consciousness despite a fair amount of airplay. My Translucent Hands is a gem of an album and features the original version of the classic "Lose Him" that was a minor dancefloor hit in its remixed version (the B-side of which ("See How It Cuts") was featured as a "limited edition club dub dance remix version" - this was the mid 80s, remember - that was very funny at the time), plus "Still Smiling" which was also a single and "You and I" which should have been.
