Spinning Today - What Are You Listening To Right Now? (Part 3)

Morning all and I start the day with this 1985 release; the first album following the departure of Roger Hodgson. Now this is not as big a challenge for a band who has had lead vocals from two members, as the remaining member is still a familiar part of the bands sound. The album has many familiar Supertramp traits but there is certainly a more bluesy and more synth element to the sound.

Agree Supertramp have a distinctive sound, and the album you cite sounds interesting if, as you say, it is a bit more 'bluesy'.

In general I like most of their output, but could never get on with "In the Quietest Moments". My favourites are: "Crime of the Century"; "Crisis, What Crisis?", and of course "Breakfast in America".

Hi Barry, we are on the same page although I'm okay with Even In The Quitest Moments and Famous Last Words too. However, there's no doubt that their sound is distinctive and I'm also a fan of Roger Hodgson's album In The Eye Of The Storm which was not loved by the critics!
