OCLC 29800226– via World Radio History.It should never have been a double, although that did give them the opportunity to make the 4 sides F, G, T and H, which is a nice touch. Simon Reynolds put it best when he said you can hear Trevor Horn losing interest over the length of the album. The first side is spectacular and is really worth the price of admission on its own. Bits of things float in and out before BANG off we go on a 13 minute prog kraut journey to Xanadu, oh yes, shooting stars never stop / even when they reach the top / here comes the supernova / what a pushover/ yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh (woo!).

Some have more structure than others, see (hear) 'Relax', but by and large this is a symbol of the stagnant.
