Somewhere else in the universe - exactly where I do not know - there is a planet and civilization not unlike our own. They’re busy with jobs and making ends meet mostly. But they are also vastly curious about life and various philosophical questions. Chiefly, they ponder whether they are all alone is this vast universe. Whether the entire universe exists just for them.
So just like us, they also built a space program. But this being science fiction and all, there’s is a bit more advanced than ours. And they built and coded this amazing android. It is capable of learning how to create any and all languages, dialects & tongues. Given enough time it would be able to communicate with any creature in the entire world. No matter how big or small. How complex or simple. Insects, humanoids, birds, amoebas, you name it. Essentially, if a life form, or even another droid, can communicate, this droid will learn how to communicate with it. The people on this planet - let’s call them Clusterferians just for fun - were naturally quite proud of their creation. And they built a moderate sized space vessel such that their droid could comb the universe looking for any sign of life to communicate with. And then report back to them.
To give the mission the best chance of success, the Clusterferians something new. Something they had never encoded into a robot before. A strong message that this mission was critical. Vital. In a word they gave it Desire.
Time passes. Millions of years. The droid performs its tasks and tries to carry out its mission. Sending out signals. And waiting for a response. Sending out more signals. Trying to communicate. To connect. To anything. It creates endless variations of sounds. But nothing ever comes back. Just the vast emptiness of space. And him.
And then the unthinkable happens. The unimaginable. He develops feelings. After eons and eons of trying and trying and trying to fulfill its mission with that strong desire encoded in him, he starts to grow sad. This desire to connect to something, ANYTHING, overwhelms him. The years of sending and sending, trying and trying and getting nothing back in return changes him. He becomes what we would call depressed. He preservers on with his mission of course. He’s a robot after all. But a shade of loneliness, of mourning now pervades the sounds he creates. A lament. The lament of being lonely. Of being human.
Grade A+: Cluster makes sounds better than anyone. Eno enhances sounds better than anyone. So together this is a dream team. And they amply fulfill the promise such a collaboration would suggest. This is one of the greatest dark ambient albums of all time. Considering its pedigree, I’m quite surprised it’s bit undiscovered. Don’t let it stay lonely anymore! Seek out and connect with this major ambient gem. There’s a lonely robot just waiting to hear from you. And this LP hurdles through space all the way to number 11. "[+]Reply
"What a great album. was a little disapointted when Perfect Illusion came out. but the album came to show me that she can do much more than that, the album has so many genres and is so diferent from all she have done, but i can still feel the roots of how she started up her career. good job gaga"Reply

I adored everything they did up until this album, I hadn't been as excited about a new band in a long time. The sound doesn't quite have the same magic of those first songs they wrote. Just a shame that they didn't save some of their earlier stuff for an album because if they had done that it probably would be my #1 favourite album of all time. But it's still good stuff - In My Head and Nightmares are my favourites on this album"[+]Reply
"this album is very nice. standout tracks are if i had a boat and we don't eat. by the end of the album his airy vocals are a little too much for me."Reply

Just put aside the fact that Jerry is a complete douche, and you'll see it's worth a listen. "If I cut off your arms and cut off your legs, would you still love me anyway?" One of my favorite Misfits lines."[+]Reply
"Cracking debut album, replicas is better but this is still very good. It’s the Numan sound but with a bit of rock about it...we’ll worth a listen."Reply

Steve Earle, Nanci Griffith and Lyle Lovett had mild success in the country market after being signed in the mid-80s. But Chapin-Carpenter scored major success, especially with Come On Come On, her fourth album. This one netted a rediculous seven hit singles. Perhaps only Garth Brooks' No Fences LP could rival this country counterpart to Michael Jackson's Thriller rerecord.
This record was a massive success, with an astonishing seven Top 20 singles. A nice change of pace is the inclusion of two covers: Lucinda Williams' seminal "Passionate Kisses" and the oddball but suitable "The Bug" by Dire Straits.
Essential.
