Cell 151 is a single taken from the Highly Strung album. Unlike many people I think that this album is one of Steve's best solo albums and is a more coherent effort compared to his early albums that were often all over the place in terms of style. The song is not the best from that album but it works well as a single. The single features two b-sides. The first is a live recording of Air-Conditioned Nightmare which first appeared on the previous Cured album. This Jazz-Rock/Fusion number is excellent and works very well in the live environment. This version has since been included as a bonus track on the remastered CD version of Cured. The second b-side is Time Lapse At Milton Keynes - an acoustic number not included on any of Steve's regular albums. It is not one of his more memorable acoustic numbers, but it is nonetheless a good one. This one is a bonus track on the Highly Strung CD reissue.
