I must say that I am a huge fan of TB1 and it sat at No1 in my personal all time chart for years until this beastie unleashed itself.

After a disapointing TB2, I took the plunge to purchase this album as I know that Mr O is a excellent musician. No disapointment here. Its fresh, slightly clubby, with enough of Mr O's skill to put it firmly at the top of his catalogue.

I love all of the album but Man in the Rain just does it for me. Where does Mike find all these great vocalists? It's a bit Moonlight Shadow, but hey I loved that record too.

Top of the morning has a great Piano intro that makes me think of green fields after the rain and the last track, Far above the clouds has some great overlays that just defy all logic - how does this guy do it?

If you didn't rate TB2 too well ( I didn't) don't be put off buying this - it's blinding.
