Rational Youth was the eponymous EP by Rational Youth, and the band's first release under their Capitol contract. It was released on CD in 2000 as part of the Early Singles box.


'Just A Sound' is a sweetened and popped version from 'Cold War'. I am supposing Rational Youth started to see other electronic acts receiving a warmer reception (Men Without Hats, Slow Children etc) and figured to move away from Kraftwerk and towards the 'funner' New Wave electronic that was happening in 1983. This little E.P. is still on the bubble of that cold early era. worth having.
