Typical Supertramp! On this CD emerges barely a sound, which is advised by chance there. Admirable arrangements, filed through to the last detail, excellent produce (even today), crystal clear and completely transparent in spite of the complexity of the score in sound. Supertramp had prepared for the production of "Breakfast in America" in a California studio, recorded and mixed in a second in a third. Full good faith began the CBS months before the album's release with a large advertising campaign. But Supertramp were far from finished, covered the Abliefertermin to months. An immense amount of time, money and materials. And yet: The CD seems not overproduced. Perfect it is, yes. But not super perfect. Will say that the technology has the ideas of the group not killed, the people have the upper hand. What dominates the scene, therefore, is the versatile soundscape painted in multi-gradated pastels and crossed by elegiac veils. The saxophone of John Helliwell also sets very warm accents that bring Supertramp finally out of the corner cold techno Rocks. Strange: Compared to about Genesis acts "Breakfast in America" downright bubbly. Hollow artificiality nil. Catchy songs throws the album from this abound. "The Logical Song", "Breakfast in America", "Take the Long Way Home" and "Casual Conversations". It also brings a lot of hints to the inevitable Beatles. Some passages and melodic lines correspond to the style, the Lennon / McCartney cultivated in the second half of the 60s. To sum it must be noted that "Breakfast in America" next "Crime of the Century" the best album of the band is also packed in one of the best and funniest cover the entire history of rock music.
