I don't know how I missed this band back in the 80's, maybe then my music taste was different (New Order, Dep Mode) but having heard a colleague at work enthuse about this group last month I thought it was worth the money in buying a copy.
Well, i'm glad I did. Each track has a quality not often found on albums these days (Keane aside), it is an ideal album to play in the car on a long journey. There is a certain feel good factor to be had in this album, not dreary electro pop associated with some 80's bands but more of a pop rock anthem theme. Yes, Broken Land is the star track, but all of the songs are worthy items.
The band are not U2 or Simple Minds material, but add this album to your collection. I think you'll be pleased you did. I know I am.

I discovered The Adventures in the 80's and bought this album on cassette and absolutely loved it. Amongst so much throwaway pop of the 80's, The Adventures stood out a mile for their huge talent and amazing melodies. I have no idea what happened to them but they fully deserved to be hugely successful. This album is one brilliant, sparkling song after another, from beginning to end. Unlike so many albums, there are no mediocre songs which you might skip to get to a better one .. all the songs on here are as good as the next one. What also makes this album stand out is the brilliant musicianship, the soaring vocals and the craftsmanship of every song. The songs are all classics which it would be impossible to get bored of. It really is a breathtaking album, full of beautiful songs, and I can't recommend it highly enough. This album, and group, are way off the Star-Ometer and deserve a hell of a lot more than 5 stars!!

Because this is probably the only CD in the music World not to have at least one weak, unchartable track on it.
This is an absolute MUST for every record collection in the land.
Personal favorite is 'Broken Land'.
If you love this and want more of the same try getting hold of 'Theodore and friends'. Another sublime collection of tracks from the same band.
And for something completely different but none-the-less great in it's own right, purchase 'Trading secrets with the moon'.

Gripping
I've never forgotten how I first heard of this band. In 1985, I was on my way to visit a friend, and had stopped mid-journey in a very rainy Gloucester for lunch. Read more
