Mike Rutherford, bassist and good songwriters in Genesis had, with his first solo album "Smallcreep`s Day" equal laid a masterpiece that was but hardly sold. With its extremely simple scale "Acting Very Strange" to the desired success was not Charts-a. With the establishment of "Mike & the Mechanics" he came, the great success, with hit singles, etc. But one must not expect a draft or even complex rock music of this album. Poor the pieces are of course not for the way, in the car, the iron .... It's just annoying that you know what he really kann.Dieses debut album is being evil shallow gurgling. The sound of the CD is just so durch.Definitiv not outstanding, but bearable, a little thin, sterile. There is also a Remaster version (Gold CD), supposedly revised with audiophile claim. This version I have not yet heard (I'll probably not). As already described, nice .... I hear it was not more. 2.5 Stars
