Title: Slick, 1980's Synth-Pop Sound
Review: This is former Tangerine Dream member Peter Baumann's four solo album (after Romance 76, Transharmonic Nights, Repeat Repeat). The first two albums were somewhat like his former band, if more tightly composed. By the time he got to Repeat Repeat, it was more vocal oriented, and threw some fans for a loop, but it was a damned good album, produced with help from Robert Palmer, with one excellent song after another, and some great synth passages.By the time Strangers in the Night came along, Baumann was completely removed from his TD days. The album a very polished mix of synth-pop songs, impeccable produced, and well written. Baumann turned most of the vocals over to Eli Holland here, with good results, but the synth arrangements are still excellent, if dated. All in all, this is mostly an album for Baumann completists, but on it's own, once you realize what kind of music it is, it's quite well done.After this, Baumann moved on to found Private Records.
