AllMusic[1]

AllMusic's retrospective review rated more of the album's instrumental suites as mixed in quality, but dismissed the three pop songs as mediocre and "rather hookless".[1]

Song notes
  • A short section of Banks' music heard in the film Quicksilver did not appear on either the soundtrack album or Banks' Soundtracks album.
  • Most of the tune to the track "Lorca" was reused in the song "Queen of Darkness" from the Bankstatement album (1989).
  • "Smilin’ Jack Casey" is available only on this album. It is not available on the Quicksilver soundtrack album.
  • A section of the song "Shortcut to Somewhere" was performed live for the first time when Genesis played a special concert for the 40th anniversary of Atlantic Records in 1988. It is the only Tony Banks solo song to have been played live by the band.

Musicians
  • Fish: vocals on "Shortcut to Somewhere"
  • Jim Diamond: vocals on "You Call This Victory"

gollark: Rust, the best* programming language.
gollark: Also, I'm not entirely sure it's a good idea to stack-allocate a 520-byte array.
gollark: I should have gone for 5 dimensions for the fancier-sounding name. Oh well.
gollark: I don't think it can ever be actively *harmful* to capture a square, just not optimal.
gollark: That's probably a sensible heuristic.
