I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but don’t tell anyone.
Nope - it's formulaic, and apart from the title track has no originality. I listened to it a few months ago, and was reminded of why I was disappointed on first listening. Always prepared to give LPs a second chance, but a 'no go' on this one. I was surprised I still had it in my collection.

Following a David Bowie documentary on BBC4, I was prompted to play:
David Bowie - 'Low'
and
David Bowie - 'Heroes'
These are from Bowie's 'Berlin' period, a collaboration with Brian Eno, so I've also lined this up to play:
Brian Eno - 'Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy'
(All on vinyl)
