For me, the defining features of those songs of AlStewart that I have particularly liked were interesting and intelligent lyrics and great guitar playing. There is plenty of both on this album. Indeed, the album opens with a wonderful guitar solo setting the scene for the moody and claustrophobic "Night Train to Munich", a story of espionage and spies. I like not just the way he rhymes 'Munich' with 'tunic', but also the way in which he stresses the syllables so that there is no hint of forcing the rhyme.

I have always loved every type of metal and some rap and dance but it is only recently when i discovered the wonders of 70's Soul and funk. The first time i heard Al Green was on Pulp Fiction with the song "Let's stay together". I loved the song from the first time i heard it but never looked into it until i bought the movie soundtrack, since then i have been searching Al Green in youtube and discovering all sorts of other great music.
