Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Is There Anything About?
Gear costume: Ipanaemia
Active compensatory factors: Definitely a swan song - Phil Collins and Robin Lumley (keyboards) both jumped ship after this album.

There's not a lot to get excited about on this one. The title track is far and away the best one. The rest is either cobbled together from old sessions or, in the case of the very last track, a 'song' taken from a cassette that captured the band rehearsing/ improvising. It's as bad as that sounds.
Unfortunately, given the eighties, it has rather too much synth noodling on it for my liking. Instead, go back to that title track and hear what was possible when they got their act together and inspired each other.
Where do they all belong? I love this genre and I'm always looking to add to it, hence a bit of a catch up over the last few Goo Goo posts. Next up when I return to this genre, unless I buy something before it alphabetically, it's back to Jan Hammer.
