Overall Review

This album by Hawkwind alumni Langton is a great rocking release. It has no weak material and quite a bit that is very strong. Langton shows himself to be a both a great guitarist and excellent songsmith. The material on the CD ranges from bluesy rock to arena rock and even includes an extended space jam.

Track by Track Review

Got Your Number: Pretty straight ahead rock and roll, this one does feel a bit like Hawkwind, but mostly just in the vocal department. It features an interesting instrumental break. The guitar solo includes some nice stereo effects.

I Could Cry: With a pretty mainstream hard rock texture, this cut is in a slower groove.

Wrong Streets: With a more arena rock balladic texture and a very inspired guitar solo, this one is a bout someone reaching out to a victim of abuse.

On The Move: With a great fast paced progish, almost Celtic texture, this one really rocks. An instrumental, the only complaint here is that it is a bit overlong.

Move Over Lady: A fairly straightforward rock cut in a mid tempo, this one gets a bit funky at times. It features a couple of great jazzy guitar solos.

Finally Finding: This one is another that has a somewhat jazzy texture at times, over a killer rock groove. With the vocals feeling a bit reggaeish at times, this one features some great guitar work.

Farewell: Slow and bluesy, this is another instrumental and a blues guitar showcase.

Just The Same: Another arena rock sort of cut, this one gets more bluesy as it carries on.

No Participation: With a nice rock and roll groove, this one feels a bit like early Bowie at times.

Outside The Law: Built on a great hard rock groove, this one is one of the best on the disc.

Lonely Man: Another one that is quite bluesy, this one is a very strong rocker. It gets a bit spacey at times. It is a definite killer cut that wanders into prog territory and the extended jams include some more Hawkish moments.

Off the Cuff: This is a very brief and slow acoustic guitar solo.
