ANOTHER FINE TUNE YOU'VE GOT ME INTO

Can't understand the lack of support for this record....intelligent, well played compositions exploring gentle, yet expansive themes. There's a great mix of acoustic and electric arrangements that give the album a nice flow. The clarity in the single note approach of Phil Lee's guitar blends nicely with Alan Gowen's adventurous keyboard style. The rhythm section of Trevor Tomkins and Hugh Hopper adds the perfect undercurrent to the music. While there are no wild instrumental excursions and the Canterburian sense of humor remains low key, the music remains jazzy and upbeat despite its gentility. A very cerebral album that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's my favorite album from the group and my favorite record featuring Alan Gowen....a must for fans of the later Canterbury style.
