Editorial Reviews

Product Description
2008 album from Martin Fry and company, the long-awaited follow-up to their excellent 1997 album Skyscraping. 'The Very First Time' is one of a number of tracks written whilst touring America last year, while `16 Seconds' was written on a tour bus in Europe and reflects on how fast life is in the 21st century. Fry says of the new album "It's a cosmopolitan record and it's about today - about the journeys people are making today, country to country, internet traffic, human traffic, moving from the past to the present to the future.''. 12 tracks. Borough Music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still got it!, May 5, 2008
By M. Roszak (Worldwide) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Traffic (Audio CD)
After listening to this album a couple of times it really grew on me. All the songs are real catchy and unique; now it's all I listen to. Martin's voice sounds great and the music is outstanding, if you enjoy ABC than you will definitely enjoy this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! Great new ABC music, June 14, 2008
This review is from: Traffic (Audio CD)
i have been waiting for this new ABC cd since i heard the first whisperings of a new album. the music is great! Very ABC! but not a "stuck in the 80's" sound. it's fresh and modern but with that incredible melody, harmony, smooth production, and clever "rhyming couplets" that fans like myself want from Martin Fry. i wish Mark White were still interested in participating in the music; but the collection of songs certainly isn't lacking from it. "Sixteen Seconds" (the first track) is a touch "hard rockin" for me but still a great song.

4.0 out of 5 stars I have missed ABC, its been too long!, August 5, 2008
By M. Gravel (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am going to see them in the ReGeneration tour at the end of the month and wanted to check out the latest music. Very good CD but this is not an 80's flashback, it has a modern sound.

Should be in alot more music buyers collections than it probably is.
