I just picked this up... and WOW What an effort from Christopher Cross. I've always been a fan of his, but this is an EXCELLENT effort. He has done away with the 80s keys and gone with a more modern, guitar-driven album while retaining his classic songwriting.

This album buttfucks Eclipse in the melodic department (which if you've been following me below, I do like Eclipse) and just sounds great. Cross has done for his style/sound here what Loverboy did with Just Getting Started - sounding indisputably like himself, but also sounding modern and catchy. I wouldn't be embarrassed to play this album for my friends who aren't down with 80s music like I am.

The vocals and guitars on this song just sound GREAT.

I agree with you, I picked up the album about a week ago and really have been enjoying it. I will be listening to this album years later, while Eclipse gets placed into the milk crate archives.

Great album. I've mixed it in with Keane and Snow Patrol for a walking playlist. It sounds modern, yet still keeps the classic Cross sound.

If you'd like to hear his classics done a bit diiferently, check out The Cafe Carlyle Sessions. It's got a bunch of the hits re-recorded with Cross, accompanied by a Jazz Quartet. Very cool.

Listening now to the audio samples on amazon.

Very melodic.


I like!

Thanks, I always liked his music. I will try and get it. Love the Magritte like artwork on the cover.

the guy is definitely underrated. anyway, for those interested, I've got an autographed "Doctor Faith" CD up for grabs on my blog.
