This is one of my personal favourites as in the early 1980�s I used to listen to this album into the early hours of the morning such is the quality and variety of the music. The beauty of the opening track "Valdez", with a simple guitar line played over a synth backing, and then the power of "Heavy pleasure" with a powerful riff and enough key changes to keep you interested right to the end.

My favourite track though is "Cool in the shadow" in which the interplay between Jan�s guitars / synths and Joachim Kuhn�s piano is magical. It also contains a guitar line to die for.

Available on CD.
