The 1980 release "chance" finds Mann with a new set of musicians backing him in the studio. Chris Thompson only sings on three of the tracks, but alas, this is Mann, he pulls it off with aplomb. Nine quality tracks are offered with standouts being 'Lies (through the 80's)', 'For You' (a Springsteen tune), and 'Stranded'. Thats just my opinion for the moment because I really like "Hello, I am your heart' and 'No guarantee'. As usual Mann's keyboards are phenomenal as is the production. Manfred's ability as an arranger as well as keyboardist shines again on this release. Another in a string of high quality Earth Band efforts.
