Title: Pap Puff Smoke Hype
Product review: Blame this period mostly on Martin Turner who wanted the direction to be more 'hip' with the times. Probably of the 3 reunion records, this one is the 'most tolerable' but its hardly on target! The fire and intensity is, for the most part, left out of the production. Instead we get 'chimey' new wave interludes through 'Cosmic Jazz" and yet we get a KAROKE version, too, egad! The only two songs that cut it to the bone are 'Walk on Water' and 'Keeper of the Light', which rekindles some of that magic and spirit from the early days. Outside of that, well this is quite a horizontal excursion-here to where?
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
