I just got the LP (and a Canadian pressing) today in the mail. One song I really wanted to hear was "All Those Years Ago", and I found that was a little disappointed. Aside from Veronique's vocal, I've actually heard the backing track, or at the very least a remixed version on Richard's 1997 solo album. So it sounds like Richard did the very same thing in 97 as he did with "Time", "Sandy" and "Flat Baroque", just reused the original album masters, but remixed them.
Anyway, it's a nice album, but for an 80's album, there's very little Pop. This doesn't sound like Tiffany, or WHAM or Air Supply or even Michael Bolton ("Sittin' on The Dock Of The Bay/Soul Provider") when you think of 80's. I will say it does have timeless quality, because it is not that 80's, but it really didn't have a good 80's moving beat. With a lot of 80's songs I feel like I want to move to them, but not with this album.
