Vor 15 Jahren leuchtete Hays Stern hell: Mit den australischen Men At Work landete er einen Welthit - "Down Under". Man sollte froh sein, daß die Karriere der "Männer" nicht hielt - möglicherweise hätte Colin Hay dieses wunderbare Album im Korsett einer Band nie zustande gebracht. Hier öffnet er mit magischer Stimme ein Kaleidoskop aus zwölf makellosen Songs, mal etwas folkig, aber mit jenem leichten transzendentalen Einschlag, den der Titel suggeriert. Doch Hay verliert nie die Bodenhaftung.

Since the dismal sales of Colin Hay's 1990 release Wayfaring Sons, none of his solo albums have been released in America, and that's a shame in this case, for there is much here for adult contemporary radio to embrace. On several tracks, Hay demonstrates he hasn't lost the ability to write a clever, catchy pop tune. This is nowhere more evident than the stirring "My Brilliant Feat," which is a commentary on the ups and downs of his own musical career. Interspersed throughout the album, however, are a handful of acoustic numbers that sound utterly depressing and uninspired. Nonetheless, fans of Colin Hay's unforgettable voice will find much to like here.
