1981 was a bad year for music. Even the energy and anger of punk had pretty much given away to 'new wave' and 'new wave pop'. So, what is a old school, art-rock guy like Steve gonna do? He dumps his band, he keeps the keyboardist, adds guests here and there, he takes voice lessons and becomes the lead vocalist for the first time and he makes a very early 1980s album (love the programmed drums!) of clever pop music. This includes 3 bonus tracks and interesting new liner notes from Steve. Some very nice stuff here and there, but basically unessential, imo.
