DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Sense and Sensuality (1982) was the second and final album by seminal British post-punk band Au Pairs. The four-piece group from Birmingham were very much in tune with the early 80s growth pangs from the first punk explosion - stripping down their music from their debut LP to a funkier, more rhythmic essence, and shifting the focus of their lyrics to the personal rather than the political.
The addition of horns and imaginative synthesizers allowed for more satisfying sonic diversity, from the disco-informed dance-punk of “Instant Touch” to the cabaret swing of “Tongue in Cheek”. While “That’s When It’s Worth It” takes several elements of popular post-punk - looping auxiliary percussion rhythms and a sporadically used horn section - and crafts them into a wild sound that’s equal parts dance, psychedelia, punk and art pop.
Their distinctly punk take on sex and gender politics, meanwhile, was their strongest thematic strain - and that’s truly where Sense and Sensuality shined. Despite only reaching #79 in the UK when first released, it’s now widely seen as one of the best post-punk albums ever.
Sense and Sensuality will be available as a limited numbered edition of 750 copies on silver colour and contains an insert.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are a European label and for the majority of our releases, we only have the European rights, meaning that they’re produced for the European market only. Because of this, these releases are not available for purchase at our MOV shop.
Are you located outside of Europe? This is most likely the reason why the product is not available to you. We are sorry for any disappointment that may have caused!
If the record is essential for your collection (which we would understand), we'd advise to search for European shops or marketplaces.
A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page under the collapsible tab called “Details”.
Keep in consideration that manufacturing processes can always turn out to be delayed so this Release Date, acts as a guideline.

The pre-order articles have an (expected) release date listed on the product page. We usually ship out these pre-order articles several days before the release date, to ensure that you will receive the record on - or as close as possible to - the release date.
If you place an order with both pre-order items and items the MOV Shop has in stock, your entire order will be shipped on the latest pre-order date of any of the pre-ordered items. If you do not wish to wait, please place separate orders.

Let customers speak for us
from 37 reviewsI always loved the music score on all the transformers movies. Rise of the beasts has an awesome score that keeps this fresh but also takes some inspiration from the 1986 cartoon movie with Unicron's theme and some nods to the original 2007 movie. But also doing something completely original to set itself apart from what came before.
For some reason I didn't know this was available on vinyl fabulous release by music on vinyl very happy thank you
Excellent sound track glad I opted for the music on vinyl issue rather than the Sony picture disc
Always reliable and high quality. Digitally sourced but always very high quality presses and more modern content in the main that other labels don’t do.
