Opinion
----- -------------
Those of you who are familiar with the Cat Stevens of old will certainly really enjoy this new materials, it's almost as if he had never gone away. It's a brilliant piece of work that not only nods and references the past but also feels refreshingly new and relevant.
The songs that most stand out to me are certainly the first track 'Midday (Avoid Ci...more

An Other Cup, Yusuf Islam, 2006 -------------------- Background -------------------- Steven Demetre Georgiou, otherwise known as Cat Stevens has a bit of a habit of changing his name. In 1978 he changed it again to Yusuf Islam after his conversion to Islam, he now prefers just 'Yusuf'.
