Worlds Away is the debut album by Strange Advance released November 1982.[2] It featured two hit Canadian singles, "She Controls Me" and "Kiss in the Dark". Strange Advance was subsequently nominated for a Juno Award for "Most Promising Group of the Year" in 1983.[3]

The 7" single for "She Controls Me" contains a b-side track called "Lost in Your Eyes" which was later released on the Over 60 Minutes with... Strange Advance compilation.

Tomas Mureika of allmusic calls this album one of Canada's most underrated new wave debut releases.[4]

Four singles were released from this album, not including a dance mix of "Love Games" which was a club hit in England.[5]
