This is a really strange one for me some of it I actally like but at times its 80s pop style just turns me off I do not.really enjoy Electronic music it just not my thing. Like Neil I come from that pomp period of Kansas Boston and Rush but I moved in a totally different direction
I will comment more latter and listen a few times before I score it
Loves anything from Pain of Salvation to Jeff Buckley to Django to Sarasate to Surinder Sandhu to Shawn Lane to Nick Drake to Rush to Beth Hart to Kate Bush to Rodrigo Y Gabriela to The Hellecasters to Dark Sanctury to Ben Harper to Karicus to Dream Theater to Zero Hour to Al DiMeola to Larry Carlton to Derek Trucks to Govt Mule to?

HI John
Yes there is an 80's electro pop aspect to this album but it is much darker, decadent, arty and aggressive overall compared to many of the other examples of Electro pop from the early 80's plus it has a depth of music that many of those other frothy examples are missing.
I came into music via Soundtracks, John Barry, John Williams etc and then the New Romantic vibe of Visage, Ultravox and then Hawkwind, Gong etc and American melodic rock but still this album was very different and helped/forced me to refocus, to be broader in my musical tastes than I was at the time I first listened to it.

Excuse me young man - everyone is part of the album club - you don't have to get involved if you don't want to, but just dip in and out when you feel like it - I did remember you liking this album as we've discussed it before - definitely a classic, and a very welcome addition to Album Club.I'm not part of the album club but I'm just popping in to say that this is a Great album!!
