Another very beautiful album for Family, the last one really at high levels, the first with John Wetton on bass, a musician with square balls on four strings. Then if your name is Chapman, you can even afford the luxury of having Wetton as a backing vocalist. "Spanish Tide" and "Burning Bridges" are among my favorite songs by Family, especially the former, with Wetton carving out a fragment as the lead voice and then singing duets and intertwining with Chappo. Spine-chilling.
