"Though I love the sparse keyboard and percussion sound of much of his 80s' work the songs don't always suit the style, but here everything works beautifully. Three of the songs are covers but when they're of this quality who can complain? His cover of Peter Gabriel's Biko is restrained and haunting where Gabriel's original - though good - was a touch bombastic. Equally great is the one original song, Amber And The Amberines, inspired by the Reagan administration's illegal invasion of Grenada in 1983. - silver_plane"
