Second style council album from 1984. it's easy to forget how defiantly different 'cafe bleu' was at the time of its release, even as the music press briefly lumped the style council in with the emerging 'new jazz' clique that also included sade, carmel, working week, and everything but the girl. the album contained a mix of 60s-influenced jazz, easy listening, and pop, and even rap and funk, that made it stand out from just about everything else on the charts.
