In the fall of 1991, it was announced that 10cc's original quartet
of members had reconvened in Woodstock, to begin work on their
first album together in 16 years. Of course it didn't happen like
that; Kevin Godley and Lol Creme both had other careers to consider
at that time, and the bulk of the new record was left to Eric
Stewart and Graham Gouldman -- whose own tenure at the helm ended
when they split the band in 1983. And it shows. Although the
prodigals did contribute to the album by way of backing vocals,
their presence was scarcely felt. Neither did producer Gary Katz
add anything to the brew, as songs that sounded terrific as demos
("Welcome to Paradise" in particular) were simply plastered over
with studio lushness by session men that the 10cc-ers themselves
did not even know. The result is a polished piece of nothing, an
album that owes nothing to the 10cc that listeners know and love,
and not much to anything that was going on elsewhere on the music
scene at that time. It simply sits in the corner humming quietly to
itself, and it's easy to forget that it even exists. ~ Dave
