Performer Notes
  • The Christians: Garry A. Christian (vocals); Russell Christian (saxophone); Henry Priestman (keyboards, guitars, vocals).
  • Additional personnel: Mike Bulger (guitar); Tony Jones (bass); Paul Barlow (drums); Anthony Moore (programming).
  • Recorded at The Workhouse, Parfett Sound, and Amaz, London, England.
  • On their first album, the Christians blend socially conscious lyrics of life under Thatcher with smooth, slickly programmed pop-soul arrangements, produced by Laurie Latham who was responsible for the popular Brit-soul sound of Paul Young. The single "Forgotten Town" sets the tone for the album: propulsive verses leading to choruses laden with the Christian brothers' three-part harmony. "Ideal World," as the title suggests, imagines a world without racism and suffering; "Born Again" finds solace from the ills of society in friends and lovers. "Hooverville" compares Thatcher's Britain to the poverty-filled reign of one of America's least successful presidents. A solid debut with very few filler tracks. ~ Ted Mills
