Produced by Hammill himself, the album is far more upbeat than most of his past work, and sounds like mid-'80s Genesis at times. But it may be one of Hammill's most musically varied albums; just give a listen to the new wave sound of \"Invisible Ink\" (one of the album's catchiest and strongest tracks), the Talking Heads-like \"Sci-Finance (Revisited),\" and the Adrian Belew\/King Crimson sound of \"Auto.\" But the anemic '80s production of the material tends to take away from the compositions; it's the complete opposite of earlier Hammill releases, where he kept things more straight-ahead. The song \"Under Cover Names\" contains completely un-Hammill-like, cheesy Miami Vice keyboard sounds. The only track where the Peter Hammill-of-old resurfaces is on the stark piano\/voice composition \"The Play's the Thing.\" If the one-dimensional production was replaced with more interesting sounds, In a Foreign Town would have turned out better, since there was still plenty of strong Hammill songwriting present. ~ Greg Prato\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esoteric Antenna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145632596257,"sku":"5013929480230","price":221.0,"currency_code":"MOP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/5013929480230.jpg?v=1697039818","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-mo\/products\/5013929480230","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
