This song was used for the 1992 fan film Spider-Man: The Green Goblin's Last Stand!

When I heard this for the first time in March 1984, so loud and clear from the speakers in my room, for a few moments my soul left my body...

There won't appear to be someone better at playing synths than Howard Jones.

How was this not a single? In my opinion, it's the second best song on the entire album and instantly gets your attention. Very catchy and unashamedly 80s. I love it!

Now because of green goblins last stand I consider this song to be a "spider-man" song

Equality is one of the best Human's Lib songs ever. 😎💙💜

Well, So are New Song, Hunt The Self, Hide & Seek, Pearl In The Shell, And What Is Love. 💜💙

The intro sounds like it could be used in a dramatic montage in a cold war flick.
