4 stars Second G & C duet's album is a great one! Most experimental and innovative part of 10 CC, after they left he band, started their own career as duet. From every their work you can hear who was responsible for most attractive musical elements in 10 CC early albums' music. Later band's pop-direction is another evidence of the same statement.

This album is possibly one of the most successful duet's work combining their melodic song- writing with almost Zappian freaky experimentation and some Queen's bombastic moments.. The result is intelligent,well played and arranged tasteful art-pop. With even many avant-pop elements!

Being quite accessible, this album is excellent example of music, which is art-rock only in part, but at the same time isn't too mellow,over-polished or over-arranged. I wish many "pure" crossover prog bands will be able to sound as this album sounds!

And I know the reason - G & C are extremely professional pop band, because of their great artistic potential and experimental nature reaching many progressive rock's borders. And they are seriously ahead of many modern so-called crossover prog bands,because these bands very often are far from G & C by their musicianship level and artistic potential, they just want to be "proggy" on the wave of " prog fashion".

I believe Godley & Creme are almost forgotten nowadays, it's a shame!. I would recommend this,possibly their most interesting album for everyone with interest to tasteful ,melodic and professional music on the border of pop,prog and avant. On this album you will hear how good such music could be!
