Comments: ****
Michael Sherwood's first solo album is more akin to Peter Gabriel than
brother Billy's music. Billy's backing vocals on three tracks are
unnoticeable. Note also _Union_ and Chris
Squire Experiment guitarist
Jimi Haun on "Where Has Everybody Gone?" and Yes
engineer Tom Fletcher
in various roles; the liner notes thank "everyone who's ever been in
Yes".
