Yes, and also hooking up again with Synthesizer/Production wiz Robert Margouleff while retaining some of the names who backed him on previous albums supplementing Preston with "real instruments"...

And Billy creates a still-worthy effort in the way of depth and curious qualities as opposed to something loaded with "Hits" as nothing here is really another "Nothing From Nothing" or "Will It Go Round In Circles"...
