For this 1980 comeback album, following the band’s split in 1974, Atomic Rooster found themselves enamoured of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal – most notably with the likes of They Took Control Of You celebrating the contemporary scene. Other highlights include In The Shadows, a thumping sledgehammer of a track with a vocal delivery that spits contempt, before the group acknowledge their prog past with Hammond-infused thrust on Lost In Space. It was like they’d never been away.
