Often looked upon as a kind of Manfred Mann solo album, although featuring Earth Band stalwarts Thompson, Waller and even Rogers as well as drummer John Lingwood who had toured with the band following the "Angel Station" album in place of Geoff Britten, this album also tried out many other musicians and vocalists. Despite the variety of singers and players it holds together well as an album. Perhaps the outstanding tracks are "Lies Through the 80s" and Springsteen's "For You". | |

Difficult to understand, Chance is, and yet in the absence of knowledge which is infinite and all embracing, it is as reliable a path to follow, as the limited logic we pride ourselves on...Nevertheless, you're a bit of an idiot if you rely on it round a casino table.
M. Lubowitz, 1980.
