The Bottom Line:
Interesting album with often spontaneous lyrics and John exploring his vocal technique, adding the Choking Horse to his Strangled Duck from 1986.

Some ballads, some rock songs on first and well produced album on new record label. Too little guitar, too much keyboard bursts.
Well if not slick produced live album with new and at the time unreleased songs.
Foster Paterson's finest hour and Island's last massive attempt to push Martyn into the mainstream of popular music.
John's Bahama trip contains fine songs in a smooth production. The eighties in full swing, so prepare for a lot of keyboards.
The most electrifying electrical live album that John produced and that should be played LOUD.
The ironical album: generally considered to be John's worst, leaving out Couldn't Love You More, it was in the charts for seven weeks and reached the top 20.
First album without Island and a good effort towards commercial success without compromising the musical quality.
The heartbreak album and one of John's personal favourites. Phil Collins blends in well and subtle Weather Report influences result in a sophisticated sound.
John's most convincing electrical album with great songs and fine musicians. Unfortunately it came out in the middle of the punk wave.
