"Pure" was the band's first hit in the United Kingdom, and their only Top 40 entry in the United States.[1] Liverpool scene peers Andy McCluskey and Ian McNabb – frontmen of OMD and The Icicle Works, respectively – appeared in guest roles. Reception and legacy{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[2] | noprose = yes }} Dean Carlson of AllMusic awarded the album 4/5 stars, and wrote: "Even in these early days, with singles like "Pure" and "All I Want," you can hear why comparisons to a less burlesque Pet Shop Boys or a Matthew Sweet synth tribute band didn't have to be unpleasant criticisms."[2] "All I Want" was covered by Susanna Hoffs, formerly of The Bangles, on her 1996 album Susanna Hoffs. It was a minor US hit and a UK hit at #33 for 2 weeks. Track listingThe CD version of Cloudcuckooland included an extra track, "God Help Them", which was originally a B-side and not on the LP version. The US track listing differs from the UK version with "God Help Them" replaced by two other B-sides, "Fools" and "Frenzy", and it was released on the MCA Records label rather than the indie label Ghetto. The re-release of the US album includes a new recording of "All I Want".[3] All songs written by Ian Broudie (except where stated).
