- give it a chance....
I own both Automatic Man Lp's. when I heard the first album I wasn't really that impressed ( giving new records a quick scan through), but the the more i listened .....the more I grew to love. Love grew like a wart on my nose and soon it was and still is one of my favorite albums. I even made a cd compiling both albums. Suffice to say all tracks fit on one cd ...except for one. If you loved the first album, the second is defiantly worth the purchase. A band of talented musicians who only released two albums is crazy! Full of great skill and progression, i believe it's a great follow up to the first album. Spacey and filled with catchy hooks. how could you deny? And if you haven't heard the first buy it as well. I'm not sure if the cd can compare to my scratchy well worn vinyl but who cares, ... Read More

- Automatic Man Severely Neglected
I know that this take on the Automatic Man story will likely irritate some of those familiar with both albums and disdainful of both songs in question, but the biggest question of all is how two astounding would-be singles in a row, "My Pearl" (from the debut) and "Give It To Me", simply didn't become Top 10 smashes in the late Seventies. I can only imagine it was due to Island not having the resources to promote either (this being, of course, pre-U2, although the label's primary roster of reggae artists gave them a steady stream of revenue). "My Pearl" consistently defies easy categorization and portends the (Glenn) Hughes / (Pat) Thrall sound nearly a decade early, as does to a lesser extent the slinky gift-of-the-Magi tale "Give It To Me", resembling, ironically enough, a cross between Rick ...

- Impressive Sophomore Effort!!
This album lacks some of the musical creativity of the first Automatic Man album. The departure of bassist Doni Harvey (who now records innovative blues songs on his DoniMusic label) seemed to remove the funky bottom from the layered, spacey rock groove that the first album pioneered. Drummer Mike Shrieve's exit was also awkward, as it seemed that the band was originally formed to provide a showcase for his talents.
I felt that vocalist/keyboardist Bayete outshined the other musical geniuses in the band on its debut, and then continued to shepherd on with guitarist Pat Thrall (Pat Travers Band, Asia, Hughes/Thrall, Sly & Robbie) for this second effort. It's a continuation of its predecessor, but more synthesizer-driven and danceable ("Give It to Me", "Live Wire"). There were quicker ... Read More
