Hearing it against 80s Radio Hits matters because it reads like part of an album world, not a detached single. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion) by John Parr off 80s Radio Hits (3) carries the feel of a band in a room rather than a mood-board tag, and that physicality matters in a sequence. With John Parr, the attraction is often attack and arrangement economy: what the band can say quickly and physically. The record earns its place through how the arrangement opens and tightens rather than through sheer mass.
Listen for where the arrangement opens wider than the first impression suggests, especially when the rhythm section changes the floor under the lead. Notice how it hands the weight to Epistrophy (theme - Sunday set three) by Thelonious Monk off The Complete Thelonious Monk At The It Club (1964) instead of crowding the next move.
