A terrific piece of work which seems to exist in and of itself. The primary example in a field of one. Who else ever sounded like this? Massively individual and self contained, this record is one of my favourite albums. Some might find it a difficult first listen, But as with all great works, it reveals itself over time as the nuances unravel layer after layer. Just two men and a Yamaha DX7.
It's daft to try and pinpoint the highlights, as it works completely as a whole. You will probably already know "Driving Away From Home", but that's just one of the many stand-outs. I love "Space" and "Rope" but the extended version of "Ed's Funky Diner" (included here as a bonus track) is just sublime. Lyrically ingenious and musically complex, perhaps deceptively so, this just works on every level.
