Release Notes:

The Alarm are back with another superb album full of rousing anthems and more
mellow acoustic moments. After the comeback success of 'In The Popppyfields'
which included the band's hit single '45 RPM', the band are back on their old
label EMI.

It maybe just Mike Peters remaining from the 80's line-up but then he is the
Alarm really. The success of this and the predecessor's songs are the
call-to-arms anthems like 'Without A Fight' and the simply superb 'Superchannel'
û the latter won't leave your head after just one play it is that catchy!

'Raindown' is one of the mid tempo meets ballads that the Alarm do so well and
the fade out harmonies on this one are spine tingling. Again the production has
a live feel and if anything the guitars are more to the fore this time around.
Other highlights include 'Zero' and 'Cease and Desist'.

Another top notch album from the band with Mike Peters on fine vocal and song
writing form. Another album of the year methinks!

ehrrmmm... fuck EMI btw!
