The hit single "Have You Never Been Mellow" carried Olivia Newton-John right back to number one, six months after "I Honestly Love You" brought the singer to that coveted position for the first time. The title track is a masterpiece of songwriting by her producer, John Farrar, an exquisitely pleasant melody with a sunny and peaceful theme.

Epitaph roll out the melodies on this excellent disc with "East of the Moon," styled after Roxy Music's opening track/anthem to their 1979 epic Manifesto -- and it's just as effective. It's quickly followed by a stylistic change, folk guitar, keyboards and heavy vocals which make "Evermore" a solid hard pop outing in the vein of the Sutherland Brothers & Quiver.

Guitarist/vocalist Cliff Jackson's production is crisp and clean, the title track chock-full of hooks and sweeping sounds. While no new ground is broken here, the collection of sounds from the past sprinkled throughout keeps each track exciting, older listeners finding elements of favorite tunes tucked into all sorts of nooks and crannies on this CD. It'll keep your brain engaged trying to figure out where each riff was nicked from. The difficult thing is the timing of it all: this disc is so intense, magical and satisfying that it would have fared better in a more friendly environment -- like 1975 or 1989 or some time in the past where radio could have embraced the solid production and playing.
