5.0 out of 5 stars one of the most underrated albums of 1989, December 11, 2004

The pairing of Michael Hutchence and fellow-Australian Ollie Olsen produced one of the best albums of the 80's, in my estimation. It was the best of INXS, with an edge -- and with better production. The three singles from the album, 'Sometimes' (my fave), 'Way of the World,' and 'Ghost of the Year' (which probably had the best public response) were all written by Ollie, but would never have reached our ears if not for Hutchence's incredible voice.

This album directly followed the INXS album 'Kick' and paired these two friends, who had done some music for films during the 80's. While it didn't do well in the charts, this is one of those albums where every single song is good.

If you're a fan of INXS, you'll love this album, plain and simple.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really sad that this isn't better known., October 25, 2003

This has some of Michael Hutchence's best work. It is strange and sad that this wasn't more popular. If you are a Michael Hutchence/INXS fan you owe it to yourself to give this a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1989's BEST ALBUM, August 22, 2005

I can't believe that I never heard this album till 16 years after it's release. You owe it to yourself to give it a listen. Definately some of Michael Hutchence best vocal work. The album is great from start to finish but really shines in the haunting "Concrete" and "Monday Night By Satellite". It is truly a shame we won't get to hear anymore of this collaboration.
