I bought the CD in 1990 purely on the strength of Stuart Copeland's and Stanley Clarke's reputations. I wasn't disappointed. I can't say that I love every song on the album, but with the kind of musicianship I expect (and get!) from Copeland & Clarke, every song is at least interesting. They arranged & produced the album, and it shows in the quality of the production and the music.

She writes some interesting material, however, which makes these songs a cut above your typical pop fare. Still, it feels as if Copeland and Clarke are holding back considerably, especially when compared to more interesting stuff they do musically on "Animal Logic II" which I consider definitely the superior album.
Get the second album instead. If you have the second album, you may be a little disappointed with this one.This is a trio of jazz bassist Stanley Clark (Return to Forever), drummer Stewart Copeland (of Police fame, but got started in Curved Air and had many interesting jazz projects) and singer/songwriter Deborah Holland. There are some guest musicians, including Steve Howe on one track. This CD was released in 1989. It is only 38 minutes long (which is too long in some parts). The sound quality is ver..
