This particular outing was the last official album released under the APP moniker, but having spent some time with it I think its right up there with their best material (like Eye In The Sky or Tales Of Mystery & Imagination). And a there are a few cuts in particular, such as Too Late' and the Dire Straits-ish 'Money Talks', that are pure radio gold for the late 80's. Very fun.

Agree on this; one of APP's best efforts along with
Stereotomy and
Pyramid.

I think I saw him at one of the music festivals I watched on telly --- what was it called? Mentioned it in my journal ---- anyway he was great fun and a really good singer and guitarist, if that's the same guy.
