Review by Richard S.Ginell
Lee Ritenour goes techno/pop/rock on an album originally released on the pop Elektra label. Here Captain Fingers extends his reach to play keyboards and programmed electronic drums on a few tracks, along with very competent rock guitar. Two songs from the previous record, On the Line, are actually recycled here ("Rit Variations II," " Heavenly Bodies"); the former comes off a little better in machine-driven, techno-pop manner.
