"One of their best albums! The combination of the the acid house and dance music in Ibiza with the signature New Order sound equals something magical. Favorites are well, the whole album! Probably the most cohesive album from them" Reply

"I'm not much of an Elton John fan; too showy and pop style above substance for my taste. However, this is one of my personal favorites and an album I'll never get tired of listening to. It has lyrics that are delivered with real emotion and warmth in tracks like "Someone Saved my Life Tonight" an..." [+] Reply

It's a giddy hoot of a record with Sinatra and arranger Nelson Riddle combining to produce one of their best collobarations.
