There is an argument he was always a bit of bandwagon jumper, and this chameleon of pop is something created 20 years after the event.

Yes, he was.

I don't think there's much argument.

It's just that for much of the '70s he managed to mould various genres and influences and rip-offs into something genuinely interesting.

Also, he could write brilliant songs.

Track 2 - Looking for Satellites.

Boyzone!

Shampoo!

One-note tune.

Now we're in the 'chill out room'.

This is as dance/chill out as Lenny Henry.

So far it's like he went to a festival or club in about 1996 and, protected by his entourage and security, simply made notes.

Y'know like an alien observing human behaviour.

Guitar solo.

Reeves doing his thang.

Or an old vampire feeding on the young.

OK, point taken.

Perhaps it's the bit where you realise that the pill you've taken is 'snide' and you're stumbling about looking for somewhere to hide.

Track 3 - Battle for Britain (The Letter).

Oh good grief, not more breakbeats.

The song sounds like something off of one of his first two albums.

I think this is the most horrible production I've ever heard.

3: Battle of for Britain.

Sounds a bit more Jungle Massive.

Piano.

Jungle Massive gone about 1967.
