I agree that his debut isn’t that great, but he has his moments. “Europa” and “Airwaves” are pure gold, however, and it’s surprisingly good for a one-hit novelty wonder. I hate hate hate “She Blinded Me With Science!”. I have no interest in hearing any of his other albums.

Fun fact: he was responsible for the synth melody of “Waiting For a Girl Like You” by Foreigner.
