The best singer to emerge from the 1980's, this album was an attempt at a comeback.
The songs Outernational, Baby, Sacrifice & be sacrificed, What made me turn on the lights and In Windows All are brilliant.
The rest of the album has typical early 90's production values, however the vocal on each song is excellent.

Since it's fairly quick deletion after original release in 1992 this item has turned up second hand for anything up to £100 - due to limited pressing and apparent unlikely reissue. Thankfully the MacKenzie family, Jude and 'believers' at Virgin/EMI/Circa now give every Billy/Associates/Yello fan the chance to get this album at a truly reasonable price. It's been remastered, though generally the original recordings were pretty good, and the inner artwork improved, so you read the lyrics easier! The bonuses are quite nice if you don't have the CD singles of the time, "Look What You've Done" is a quality track (note this is the standard CDs/12" version, not called "Marital Mix" at the time). "Because You Love" appears on The Glamour Chase remaster in the same form, but as it was recorded with Boris Blank of Yello with several other tracks at the time, does fit. One small gripe, there is no inclusion of the mega-rare "Outernational 2", which only appeared on the promo Pastime Paradise CD single (why?). But other than that this is a long overdue reissue of Billy versus smooth electronica - his voice cuts through beautifully, and although a far cry from Fourth Drawer and Sulk mayhem is infinitely better than the interim "Wild And Lonely". Buy it before they delete it again!

What a surprise to finally see this re-released with additional tracks!
However if Amazon's tracklist is correct it omits the "In windows all" song which really ought to be there.
The song does appear on "The Glamour Chase/Perhaps" release but what is the point in re-releasing cds with additional tracks and omitting songs that were included originally?
I give it 4 only because it's not complete....vocally it's another chillingly beautiful effort from the sadly missed Greatest Singer of All TIme!

Good album, excellent remaster
"Outernational" contains some of the strongest songs of Mackenzie's all too brief career. With the hysterical yelps of his Associates heyday long since past him, he tackles more... Read more
