Listen to this and you realise how underrated Chris De Burgh is. Every track could have been a top ten single, there is no poor song on here. I think anybody with a heart and a soul would enjoy this album.
True, top-of-the-line 80's pop/rock, with the passion, gusto and flare that Chris de Burgh, used to deliver in such an efortless manner.
Most of these tracks topped the charts, and some are especially memorable. I dare anyone, to listen to tracks like the "Ecstacy of flight" and remain apathetic.
Watch out for the atmospheric background vocals of Tina Turner in "Sound of a gun".
