A very nicely done homage to Mr. McGeoch's work here; I'd have expected no less from you. I well remember buying 'Juju' when it first came out, largely because of his guitar work on it, and I was very impressed with how he'd grown. I hope I'm not putting this the wrong way, but the nod to Andy Summer's work in the Police was clearly evident on several tracks; rather than seeming derivative, I thought McGeoch had simply taken it in a different direction, and that this served the songs quite well. I recall playing this for all my friends at the time, but couldn't get any of them to appreciate it for its merits (had the same problem with Go4s work)...it's their loss...
