โ€˜Cardiocleptomanieโ€™, which one can roughly translate as stealing hearts, is a fine title for this winsome synth-pop shanty typically revolving the sort of minimalist lyrical phrasing that would make up the trioโ€™s Eurovision entry of the same year, that ended up 3rd from last but was nevertheless a big domestic hit. Belgians do it their own way.


Creeping at a typically slow Belgian tempo โ€˜The Fear in My Heartโ€™ was originally the A-side of a 12โ€ in 1983 and later appeared on expanded editions of Van Ackerโ€™s 1984 album โ€˜The Shipโ€™ with contemporaneous material. Itโ€™s an epitome of his taut, moody production style and songwriting, crooning on sleazy bassline and bell chime synths, and makes for a fine one-two with Pas De Deuxโ€™s reflections on matters of the โ€˜art.
