Side 2: pointless generic soundtrackicana. Booo.

Side 1: Dominated by heartless cash grabs from Phil Collins, Stevie Nicks, and Peter Gabriel.

But then the obscure one, Kid Creole, with everything to prove, provides one of his essential top-shelf jams with My Male Curiosity. That song is reason alone to own this.

Just turn down the lights and turn the volume up and listen to the dynamics of the last track on side 2, "Murder of a Friend". It sounds amazing! Pure reference material.

Why weren't Tony Banks and Steve Hackett invited to contribute tracks, would have been a wonderful Genesis reunion.

One of the best sounding records in my collection. The SQ on this one is amazing. The CD is also top quality.
