"A showcase of this man's many facets at this point in time. Had a little bit of everything, some Frippertronics, some King crimson style music pieces and even a potential hit with Darryl Hall of Hall & Oates on lead vocals (You Burn me Up I'm a Cigarette)." Reply

"Always a challenge. Typically off-beat and intricate. Humour in the lyrics and the variation between verse and chorus in the opening track starts off as jarring but then draws you in." Reply
"The fact that The Avalanche is a collection of outtakes and B-sides from Illinois--and that it's this good--lends some perspective on how good an album Illinois is.

"Apart from the Passionate Friend there aren't many other tracks that would I describe as singles.
