It needs to stop sounding like West End Girls. The resemblance is distracting me.

I've just discovered that there are two versions of West End Girls, and the line I remember from when I first heard it, 'Who do you think you are, Joe Stalin?' is from the first 1984 version, which is very odd, because it was originally only available on a 12" or something.

This track's like the stuff on PM Dawn's first album but without whatever it was about that album that appealed to me.

Momus is simply too talented for his own good.

Track 8 - TransSiberian Express.

You know, he's not even really a musician.


HE's AN ARTIST!!!!!!

I hope it doesn't go on as long as the TransSiberian Express.

This one seems quite boring.

Every elpee he's ever recorded always has at least two absolute zingers on them.

It's a 'riff' on "Trans Europe Express".

He sounds like even he's bored now.

If you knew that (very lengthy) track then you might 'get' the various bits.

Was that by the KLF or am I thinking of something else?

Track 9 - Voyager.

Anyway, I knew there was a reason I didn't listen to this record all that much.

There're are're a few decent tracks, but ultimately he's at a dithering crossroads.

It's a kind of final, clumsy flail at commercial success, that is ultimately - and inevitably compromised by - his thematic scattershot approach.

Says, "Why," with a hard, "H."

Did he just mention Courtney Love?

This is basically Go West.

This track is pretty good.

In terms of his 'pop' output that is.

He's obviously becoming harshly OTT production-wise.

I think he knows that winning the fame game is up.

The strings on this are really annoying.

Pointless instrumental outro...
