Better than The Tin Machine.

Not as good as The Syn Drum.

I quite enjoyed it, but it seemed to just hop from chapter to chapter without a satisfying conclusion.

I remember liking the 'Niobe' chapter and the kid's scream, but other than that it just drifted by without me getting a grip on it.

I loved it. No reason to be scared of it. A much easier read than Joyce that's for sure (I'm scared of Finnegan's Wake, me!)

I am reading the flounder. Which is inexplicable but very good.

A masterpiece - makes all other New Romantic crap look like trifling, rhythmically stunted piffle. Muscular enough to shove aside all of Sylvian's later work, yet with a lighter-than-air textural touch thanks to the amazing work of Karn and Jansen.
