Hammer Hammer (Vinyl, Elektra Records, 1979) **

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: One Day
Gear costume: Goodbye
Active compensatory factors: This was an attempt at a band setting for Jan Hammer. You know - like Bowie and Tin Machine.

This is a similar misfire away from his prog rock day job, into a tilt at a pop sound/pop band.
It's inoffensive mostly (Highway Made Of Glass veers too much towards the saccharine) but a lot of the album is an okay attempt at trying for a different audience. Unfortunately, I can't see the prog world embracing his version of Oh Pretty Woman too much.
Where do they all belong? A definite one-off.
