Nope not having that. Not quite as good as the previous two albums granted, but First Time Mother's Joy and Vermillion in particular are stunners. I will agree that In The Wilderness should never be mentioned again though...

When you get a live band at a wedding, you can almost guarantee the playlist is the same old 70s covers...which are nowhere near the quality of the original recording. Think Superstition, Long Train Running, That's The Way I Like It. Yawn. Get a DJ and listen to the real Stevie Wonder.

I prepped my radio show for tomorrow, which is a chart of songs with an X in the title, and this came up. First time I'd heard it in years, and it still made me gasp. What a vocal performance and such poignant lyrics. Brilliant.

Very difficult. My band covered I Could Be Happy in our first gig, but I have to go with the sensational The Model (even though it's originally from 1978!)

As a radio presenter , I have played a few of their tracks but find their name problematic as Im never sure how to pronounce it!

Ray Of Light by a country mile. Superb throughout with deep, meaningful and reflective lyrics, brilliant singles and immaculate production by William Orbit. Not a false step anywhere.

It's a brilliant album - Kometenmelodie 2 is just gorgeous. Hard to believe it's over 50 years old.
