His guitar graced some 20 albums, like John Cale's Fear, Eno's Here Come the Warm Jets, and Nico's The End. This outing from his all-star side group is slicker than his 1976 live debut album, but no less worthwhile; some 16 musicians are credited. The sound is sleek and sophisticated; even lyrics aren't exempt from creative twists, as shown on "Listen Now"'s glistening jazz-pop -- which cleverly juxtaposes its title against a bouncy "now, now, listen" chorus. The song also questions how people are living life in a repressive society, even as "Law and Order" and "City of Lights" ponder its breakdown. Other songs visit more personal turf. "Flight 19" details a young man's angst-filled reaction to his lover's injuries, "Postcard Love" dismisses the perils of on-road romances, and "That Falling Feeling" takes a more wistful look at how people grow apart -- over a gliding Manzanera guitar part. (Yet another sly twist shifts the chorus from "Can't you feel it moving in?" to "You can feel it moving in.") Three totally different instrumentals round out matters. The best one is the lilting "Island," anchored by a climbing Bill McCormick bassline, as Manzanera unleashes his full array of guitar-altering devices. "Initial Speed" and "Que?" take more of a jazz/fusion tack; they're different snapshots of Manzanera's graceful, intelligent guitar style. This album's one of the most absorbing entries of Manzanera's lengthy career. ~ Ralph Heibutzki, All Music Guide Personnel * Phil Manzanera - guitar, acoustic piano, Hammond organ * Eno - guitar treatment, chorus piano, synthesizer * Simon Ainley - lead vocals * Bill MacCormick - bass, vocals * Ian MacCormick - vocals * Tim Finn - vocals * Kevin Godley - vocals, percussion * Lol Creme - vocals * Billy Livsey - clarinet, Wurlitzer piano, Fender Rhodes * Mel Collins - soprano saxophone * John White - tuba * Eddie Jobson - acoustic piano, Fender piano * Eddie Rayner - acoustic piano * Francis Monkman - Fender Rhodes, synthesizer * Rhett Davies - Hammond organ * Simon Phillips - drums, percussion * Dave Mattacks - drums * Alan Lee - background vocals --------------------------------------------------------------------- :: Generated by Music NFO Builder v1.20 - www.nfobuilder.com ::
