MOMUS SAYS: This album is soft, sad and feminine. Although it may seem to reflect Momus's move to Chelsea, his love of the Belgian desperation of Jacques Brel, don't be fooled. This record should be bracketed with all the blue disks made by unhappy rockers' girlfriends: Marianne Faithful, Joni Mitchell, Idha. Girls who, forced to live out the bohemian dream of The Road, can't help showing 'a little lace around the seams'.

PHESPIRIT SAYS: The second Momus album shares its style with the first but in leaving behind the all encompassing theme (no Biblical tales here) it also loses a little cohesion and focus. This album, along with Momus's fourth - Don't Stop The Night - are the two which Phespirit plays the least, especially now that magnificent tracks The Gatecrasher and Closer To You have been extricated and re-incarnated on the superb Slender Sherbert LP.
