The Church undertook a second Australian tour, while Carrere released the album in Europe, bringing enough sales to tour there in October. Capitol declined to release The Blurred Crusade in North America and demanded they write more radio-friendly material – as exemplified by stable mates, Little River Band – which horrified group members. After another recording session, five demos were offered but the US label was unimpressed and dropped the group. Chugg arranged a UK tour supporting pop band, Duran Duran, but after five gigs The Church pulled out – he later recalled, They were hard work. All four of them were strong-willed and had their own ideas of how things should be. The band also toured Scandinavia and Europe in 1982, and both their albums were released there to critical acclaim. It was produced and mixed by Bob Clearmountain. While still dominated primarily by Steve Kilbeys song writing, the music shows more of a resurgent 1960s psychedelia and the beginnings of guitarists Peter Koppes and Marty Willson-Pipers trademark guitar interplay. The albums first single, Almost with You, is considered one of the groups most characteristic songs. Two band compositions, An Interlude and You Took, have been frequently included in set lists throughout their career. Both the band and a large section of the fan-base cite the album as one of their finest. Second track of the second album The Blurred Castle in March 1982. https://youtube/watch?v=CcEz1QzK0fM
