"This album from two prominent members of the Who and The Small Faces, is really a little gem. For Ronnie Lane the album came at a point in his career when his Slim Chance project more or less econimically lay in ruins; and worse his multiple sclerosis had just been diagnosed. For Pete Townshend t..."  [+]  Reply

"I think interesting Punk was always designed and this is the most designed Punk I ever listened to. The ex Disco Project of an Ex 60s Beat singer turned out to become a strange and strong musical force. Cabaret Pop, NEU! drum patterns, acted out anger. Out of time and just in time."  Reply

"Foreign affairs, is Tom Waits' film noir album. It's full of monochrome images of gangsters, loose women, and illicit goings on, it's a very cinematic experience. The record starts off with the instrumental, Cinny's waltz, sets the scene perfectly, this isn't a modern day record, it's old fashion..."  [+]  Reply

"Steve Harley is about the performance and the passion. So he isn’t much of a singer. That doesn’t matter when you put as much emotion in to a song as he does. I love his version of Here Comes the Sun and Come Up and See Me, Make Me Smile is my favourite. Give this band a chance!"  Reply

"My favorite song on this album is actually the lone bonus track "Voyage Migrateur", which is mis-labeled as "Le Rêve" (and vice versa) on Apple Music, and maybe elsewhere. I can't put into words just how sublime that track is, or understand why it was left off the album in the first place. It may..."  [+]  Reply

"Not as daring as their earlier albums, but still solid. Very Beatlesque like ELO, just listen to "Feel The Benefit" and "The Things We Do For Love" for proof."  Reply
