    Oh balls, I took it as two out of three but that'd be 3,3,2,5 oooooooooops

    Comment


      As an approach to the solution, it ain't bad.

        Try it now:

        In release declaring 66.67% success rate is satisfactory, telecoms company claims auto-correct with 'zero fail' at first...then there's havoc (3,3,2,4)

              'out' and 'of' are correct. The solution doesn't involve numbers.

                  So where does the telecoms company bit come in to it?

                    Jim Steinman makes complete ethereal chief spot hit single (5, 7, 2, 3, 5)

                    Comment


                      Or "hit single complete ethereal chief made with Jim Steinman" for the purists.

                      Arse and fuck.

                      Just go back to the original clue

                        So complex and tortuous it takes Aday to explain it.

                        In release declaring 66.67% success rate is satisfactory, telecoms company claims auto-correct with 'zero fail' at first...then there's havoc (3,3,2,4)

                        telecoms company claims auto-correct: B<auto*>T

                            90s rock album consisting of nothing beyond Total Eclipse of the Heart (2,5)

                                As ever this is more or less a guess based entirely on letter count

                                Dodgy In Utero performance (7)

                                Comment


                                  Well guessed, ad hoc.

                                  consisting of = IN

                                  nothing = O

                                  beyond (after)

                                  Total Eclipse of the Heart (definition of 'total' with eclipse of the heart, ie middle letter removed) = UT(t)ER

                                    Is "90's rock album" the definition. Because there were an awful lot of them, and nothing particular that would make one choose that one from the thousands of others. Wikipiedia lists 1,417 total for 1993 alone (when In Utero was released)

                                          Ultimately, anti-synth intro (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang is mixed and isolated (10)
