Title: Rising to the Top
Product review: Steve Harley was his own worst enemy when it came to public relations, and it ruined his growing career. But time and posterity shuffles the music of the past-- when it all works right, the cream rises to the top and the rest falls away. It looks like this is finally happening with Steve Harley's music-- his imaginative, catchy, and quirky songs have slowly but inexorably been climbing their way into classic status. And that's where several of the songs on this import hits collection should be. Any fan of 1970's glam rock will want to hear Harley & Cockney Rebel's passionate contributions to the style. By comparison, Harley has the cleverness and ingenuity of David Bowie but with more heart, some of the manic flair of Roxy Music but with more warmth, and the popular touch of Brian Eno with greater directness. I recommend this disc enthusiastically.
