The follow-up to her universally adored first album, Kimberley turned the Kraftwerk up to 11 for this one. As far as I can make out, it's not a favourite among her fans but how will the more-esoteric tastes of TNHOTW judge it? scared

We know it has at least two classic tracks on it, in Cambodia and View From a Bridge. Excited

Track listing
All songs written by Marty Wilde and Ricky Wilde, except where indicated

Side one

"Ego" – 4:11
"Words Fell Down" – 3:31
"Action City" – 3:25
"View from a Bridge" – 3:32
"Just a Feeling" – 4:12

Side two

"Chaos at the Airport" – 3:20
"Take Me Tonight" – 3:56
"Can You Come Over" – 3:35
"Wendy Sadd" – 3:49
"Cambodia + Reprise" – 7:13

The chord change in the verse's opening line seems to have been inspired by OMD's Messages.
