What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



The grand finale with the groups eighth album. Pretty good timing I think. Truth is they were starting to get stale for me. Maybe a little heavy on the synth. This one still passes the test as far as a good album. Title track and More Than This were my top tracks with India and Tara at the bottom. The album was a #1 in the homeland but could only manage #53 here. Both singles of More Than This and Avalon were top ten hits in England, but a bombs here. The album got rave reviews from the critics which I'm not sure were justified, at least in comparison to the groups early work. I was glad to hear Brian was going solo after this album, as I thought Roxy had run it's course.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - India

Best Track - Avalon

Now the party's over
I'm so tired
Then I see you coming
Out of nowhere
Much communication in a motion
Without conversation or a notion
Avalon
When the samba takes you
Out of nowhere
And the background's fading
Out of focus
Yes the picture changing
Every moment
And your destination
You don't know it
Avalon
When you bossa nova
There's no holding
Would you have me dancing
Out of nowhere
Avalon
