....was just having a rummage through all my old Aha stuff and came across TWO copies of this album! Must have been keen!! It was produced in 1986..and is a cracker!! More atmospheric than the more poppy Hunting High and Low..and definately more rocking! All the songs are written by (most produced by) Mags and Pal (who also seems to have changed to Paul of late..). There are the trademark little chirpy numbers that bounce along (usually written by 'prankster' Mags)..in this case 'Maybe Maybe'..with the immortal line..' I knew that it was over when you chucked me out the Rover'...ahem..But the best track has got to be..'Ive Been Losing You'..watch out for the 'pretend' ending, it fooled many a dj when it was a single. Its completely rocking and a rival to The Sun Always Shines on TV. Cry Wolf (wooo...oooo)...is a catchy one that will have you..er...wooo...ooo-ing along! Altogether, a brilliantly produced album although very eighties in its origins, listening now you cant help but think that if 'the Soft Rains of April' had the backing of an orchestra instead of a synth, how much better it would be,oh well..thats the eighties for you! Mortens vocals are immpeccable as per...Mags and Pals dodgy lyrics preside!! Excellent, now I remember why I bought it twice!!...(I saw them in concert and I have a scrapbook as well...but thats another story...!!!LOL!!)......
