  The Lexicon of Love - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lexicon of Love was the acclaimed chart topping debut album by the British pop band ABC released in 1982.
In 1998 Q magazine readers voted The Lexicon of Love the 92nd greatest album of all time.

 LEXICON OF LOVE
Rather than moving their expertise to the software plug-in market, Lexicon have incorporated their PCM90 reverb hardware into the new Studio recording system, and such is the desirability of the 'Lexicon sound' that many musicians have been eagerly awaiting the launch for this reason alone.
Lexicon have neatly side-stepped this problem, as well as winning many people over in the process, by working closely with Steinberg to ensure that the Lexicon Studio integrates well with their Cubase VST software (which already supports both Audio and MIDI in a single package).
Such is Lexicon's attention to detail that disposable anti-static wrist straps are provided for safe installation of the circuit boards, as well as a screw-on bracket to support the far end of the card.

 Lexicon Of Love, ABC | OMM | The Observer
With its gold lamé flourishes, Lexicon of Love seemed to come from nowhere on its release in June 1982.
You might be forgiven for thinking that nobody in their right mind would want to mix hi-energy hedonist's beats with existential crooning, but Fry sounds very much in his right mind, high on his own wordplay as brilliant couplet after brilliant couplet trips off his silver tongue.
ABC's next album saw the start of a slow decline, but Lexicon of Love had already made good on all their promises - and had hit number one to boot.

 THE LEXICON PROJECT :: A one-year portrait of Lexington, KY
Late into the Lexicon New Year's show -- just a little before midnight -- my mother (pictured above) came up to me with a most sweet and excited look in her eyes.
During 2005 the Lexicon Project assembled a team of photographers to document the city of Lexington for a year.
At this year's Woodland Art Fair the Lexicon Project will pair up with the Lexington Art League and encourage Senator Jim Bunning, Mayor Teresa Issac, members of the Sexual Disaster Quartet, employees of numerous downtown businesses, recruiters from the National Guard, and hundreds of other Lexington inhabitants to come and collect their photos.

 The Lexicon Of Love « Music
Where The Lexicon Of Love scores is in its heart - a rather deep heart that, on the surface, goes against the bright sheen of the record with its glossy Brit-soul/funk and Martin Fry’s mannered vocals.
ABC would make a much more overtly political record with Beauty Stab, a glorious mistake that squandered their strengths (but was scarcely the disaster that critical reputation has given it), but the message is quite clear in their first record.
Lexicon questions the basic assumptions not only of society but also those of the individual living in it.

The dynamic sound of "Poison Arrow" (the second single)-with its percussive dance floor rhythms, big bold brass sound, insinuating piano coda and Fry's soulful vocal-should easily qualify it as one of the best songs of 1982.
"The Look Of Love (Part One)" boasts a funkier feel and includes a horn section, but this time ABC relies on a full orchestral backing.
As Fry yearns for that perfect love it all comes together into one auspiciously assembled musical package.

ABC were one of those groups who come along once a decade to effect a paradigm shift in the way music is heard and made, one of those groups who move the music forward, alerting us to the possibilities of strange combinations, employing radical ideas yet never confusing arrogance with ambition.
On it’s release in May 1982 their debut album ‘The Lexicon of Love’ crashed straight into the album charts at number one.
Similarly ‘The Lexicon Of Love’ is regarded as the greatest British pop LP of the decade, and remains one of the 10 best of all time.

 Lexicon Of Love by ABC CD
Easily one of the '80s' finest albums, THE LEXICON OF LOVE not only established singer Martin Fry and guitarist Mark White as two of the decade's smartest and most skillful cross-breeders of Motownish dance grooves, Beatlesque pop and Roxy Music-style art-rock urgency, it cemented ex-Buggle Trevor Horn's status as the era's defining producer.
Throughout THE LEXICON OF LOVE, Horn's over-the-top blend of strings, horns, lush choirs and bizarre production tricks battles Fry's literate, witty lyrics and commanding voice and White's encyclopedic knowledge of pop hooks for the listener's attention.

 BBC - Classic Pop/Rock Review - ABC, The Lexicon Of Love
Each track is a love affair in miniature: some are touching ("All of My Heart", "Show Me"), others a bitter invective at misplaced passion ("Many Happy Returns").
The Lexicon of Love stands as a landmark album in British pop.
I've loved its polish and passion since I first bought it on vinyl for my brother for Christmas 82.

Brit soul produced by Trevor Horn and including the pop hit "Look of Love," The Lexicon of Love is bursting with hooks, clever lyrics, and synthetic funk-inspired grooves that hold up better than most any others from the early '80s.
The end result "Lexicon of Love" is one of the quintessential New Romantic recordings.
The love theme infuses the album with continuity, but the stronger theme here is great lyrics "...for all the lips I shoulda kissed, I'd be a millionaire/I'd be a Fred Astaire" and great English light new-wave in the romantic mode.

'Look of Love Part 4' is a pleasant, soaring instrumental, and I've always had a soft spot for the bonus track, the Mantrap theme, which is a reworking of 'Poison Arrow' which wouldn't sound amiss playing in the bar in 'Casablanca'- simple and melancholy.

 The Lexicon Of Love - Cd
The blend of all of Martin Fry's influences: Smokey Robinson's lyrical jaunts, mellow strings of pre-orchestral rock, and the pure bad-ass funk of '70s Motown are brought together in sheer perfection.
The Lexicon Of Love is too perfect to be heard in any other form, all you need is the original 10 tracks and a stereo you can turn up fairly loud.
But memories aside, every track is a winner: the music is lively, the vocals are expressive and passionate, the lyrics are cleverly crafted, and the production is excellent.

 ABC (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beauty Stab was, by design, a dramatic departure from the lush, melodramatic pop/funk of The Lexicon of Love, with emphasis instead placed on guitar-based rock.
One new song, "The Look of Love 90", was released to promote the package, though the band did not approve of the mix and implored fans not to buy it.
"Love Conquers All", the first single, barely placed in the UK charts, though Black Box ("Ride on Time") provided remixes of "Say It" which were well received on the U.S. dance charts.

I was a huge ZTT fan back in the 80s and I still I have a huge amount of respect for the post-modern "Pop" games the label, and writer Paul Morley, played.
I know The Lexicon Of Love is not technically a ZTT record.
I think the stagehands on the back cover of "Lexicon Of Love" were the rest of the band, so in addition to being right for the album content, it also laid out the operational skullduggery necessary to create the idealized lead singer.

 ABC, The Lexicon of Love Deluxe Edition | | Guardian Unlimited Arts
Released in June 1982, The Lexicon of Love announced ABC as the pinnacle of hi-tech and high concept.
Looking back now, the big hit singles still scintillate, especially the Look of Love and the splendid All of My Heart, but much of the packaging surrounding them sounds mildly preposterous.
Closeted away with producer Trevor Horn, ABC mastermind Martin Fry strove to become Bob Dylan and Oscar Wilde wearing Smokey Robinson's glitter suit, but often ended up hitting the buffers in Lameville ("your reason for living is your reason for leaving, kindest cut's the cruellest part.").

The cross-border love affair continues Monday when CTV begins airing a new two-part episode entitled Lexicon of Love, in which American indie filmmaker Kevin Smith and his sidekick Jason Mewes (Clerks, Mallrats) return to Toronto.
This time it's for the premiere of the latest film featuring their Jay and Silent Bob screen alter egos, the one they were supposed to be shooting on location at Degrassi High in last season's three-part story arc.
She thinks the appeal lies in the fact that the show is far removed from, say, a California fantasy series like The O.C., that teens can identify with Degrassi.
