Man Tran as they were known at the time of release weren't afraid to experiment which probably led to their unfortunate demise. This is an exceptionally brave diversion to their previous albums. Heading toward the next decade and yet still retaining the harmonies and sounds of the past. Twilight zone is unlike anything heard at the time. Excellent vocal and melody. Birdland, the first single released in the UK is a superbly produced tribute to Charley Parker and all the old jazz greats.Nothing you can do about it is a down and out great pop song. Back to old fashioned Man Tran with Trickle Trickle. Back again to future sounds with Coo Coo U. Mindblowing album. Ahead of its time no doubt. Buy it!

Superb vocalisations of complex evolving harmonies. A fine mix of easy listeming ballads through TV themes to esoteric 'Sci-Fi' tracks.
I bought this album first on vinyl when I was about 13 in the late 70s, and it has an important place in my musical development.

This was the Transfer 6th 1979 album and what an album.It is so upbeat and with such a lovely feel to it, it never fails to cheer me up whenever I listen to it.
It marked the debut of new singer Cheryl Bentyne after Laurel Masse left but the transition is seamless. The album starts with the Joe Zawinul inspired Birdland which was a minor hit for them the vocals, tone and pace of this piece still makes me smile after 20 years of listening following that they launch into Wacky Dust and then Nothin'you can do about it and Twilight zone ;theres just no respite the vocal style pace and production is faultless. They finally slow you down with Shaker song and Foreign affair, by this stage you will be breathless!
Make no mistake this a classy album and very refreshing after their earlier more nostalgic offerings.Its classy and fun, what more would you want from a Jazz vocal album.
If you have not heard the Manhatten Transfer before its not a bad place to start , better than a best off compilation which never seem to hold up for album artist.
