I really struggled with this album. The sleeve notes suggest that it should be outstanding - Fripp! Weller! Phil on drums! But it's not an easy listen. There's no obvious theme for it to all hang together. It felt almost as disjointed as Fripp's guitar style. Gawd knows how Weller fitted into this back in 1980. Not a disaster, but an interesting listen.

I quite liked some of the more leftfield musical elements here, but generally I am not a fan of the songs and I don't think Pete's voice really suits the style. It is almost New Wave in feel in places, but the prog-ish melodrama drowns that out most of the time, sadly. I want to like this but I don't.
