| 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?  We know it has at least two classic tracks on it, in Cambodia and View From a Bridge.  - Quote :

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