    To my knowledge, the only album of their's to be recorded in the USA. The Reason? It was produced by EW&F's Verdine White & Larry Dunn.

    To my ears, their influence as producers here seems non-existent, as this album sounds no different on any level, to their previous (or forthcoming) albums.

    Not their best, but songs like "Standing in the Light", "Out of sight out of mind", & the title track are worth the price of ission.

      Some great vocoder touches on 'Micro Kid' from the Lindup.
