The bass playing on this LP is pretty exceptional. OK it's all a slight departure from previous releases, but this was just one stepping stone towards the MCR album. ACR moved with the times instead of standing still -
This outing leaves behind the atmospheric, subtle textures of Sextet and veers into more traditional 80's jazz-funk and disco territory aiming directly at the Hacienda dance-floor. Lyrically it also reverts to type even including cheesy 'Work that body' refrains. What they have gained in musical proficiency - particularly the dexterous slap-bass and undulating percussion patterns, they seem to have somehow lost in creative direction. It's certainly a long way from 'To Each'...

ACR is going all Funky, Dubby and druggy on this one with a lot of horny lyrics added to it. Very daring in a period when hip music always sounded gloomy and dark. This is one of their best sessions ever and it still sounds fresh and crispy today. A perfect example of straight up Funky Dancemusic from a band who always have been influenced by all styles of Dance. Hence the cover of the record where ACR is shown in a club (the Hacienda).

ACR has gone disco now. They still use funk and brazilian hectic percussion, but this LP seems to be the weakest of their early-80-series. But still it has something...
