"Marc Almond's career has had its musical ups and downs, but this album, alongside "Mother Fist", ranks at the very top of his work. I remember hearing it when it was first released, and it was an incredible shock. "Black Heart" in particular remains one of my favorite songs of all time, by any artist - it's all very strange, and yet it has a determination and focus so strong that you can feel without question that he had his own particular musical destination in mind & knew exactly where he was going. Marc's cover of "Caroline Says" was quite an eye-opener. This album and its untitled companion release feature first-rate contributions from Matt Johnson of The The.
