one of the best albums ever made
as long as you skip smackwater jack,(a truly terrible track) you can't go wrong.This is brilliant to listen to in bed, in the dark. And now with the cd you dont have to get out half way through to turn it over as u did with the record. Carole wrote many brilliant songs, over many years, before she even made this record.Some find ever voice too sickly sweet.I don't but i do have a personal criticism, i don;t like james taylors voice, and he does many backng vocals. But this is such a brilliant album ive learnt to put up with them. like "dusty in memphis" or the first two nick drake albums i recommend this as a no risk buy, you'll love it. Embarrassingly this is better than her greatest hits

it might surprise you
This is really an andy mccluskey solo album.
It can't hold a candle to real OMD albums in terms of breadth and experimentation. But if you like pure pop, and catchy tunes then this will please you no end. Funnily it reminds me of a lightning seeds album.
It is miles better than junk culture.
Try to get the rare early version which has "neon lights" on it, it is a kraftwerk cover that kraftwerk fans will hate, but it is fab for everyone else

1 of 1 found this helpful Following on from avalon sunset this album failed to sell in the same sort of numbers. While not as good as Avalon sunset this is one of the best Albums overall, particularly in his post seventies releases.
If your a van fan buy without risk
