Recently, the band decided to re-release this wildcard of an album, but wait - there is a catch.

This has such a retro 80's sound, but the melody and dynamics contained within makes for a pleasant listen. It may even be their most melodic offering to date, but the synthesisers and jaz coleman's soothing voice(though some are more used to his rougher voice) make it one to be admired, certainly.

Yeh, this is a great album... not the kind of thing I tend to listen to regularly though!
