| A vast improvement over the debut, which was a bit too whimsical and light-hearted for my taste. This captures the pomp and splendor of a Robby Valentine album! "City Lights" is pure majestic pomp that would have been right at home on "the Magic Infinity". "As Salam Aleikum" borders on mid 80s Duran Duran. "Club Bombastic" and the near-disco of "V-sualized" are also highlights, with plenty of "sensitive" Robby tunes like "Take Me Home" and "Turn Back Time". Recommended!

| I'd still send a word of warning about this one, especially as Robby Valentine and Zinatra fans are likely to be looking all over eBay for these two. They are just way more experimental than either of the above, and nowhere near as tuneful. Sorry, but I can't cope with this one much, and I hated the Valensia's first (and also can't bare his newie, The Blue Album). No thanks.

| BWH"Indonesia", this comes up on eBay from time to time. You can also get it from the Japanese HMV Site (www.HMV.co.jp) although I've never ordered from there myself. Robby's new solo album is apparently a lot heavier than his past stuff....

| What-a-piece-of-shit !! I came down to this clown Valensia after reading several reviews on his music being next step of great Robby Valentine's and what a rough disappointment this was! I sadly got Valensia's Gaia and found that this is not AOR, not melodic rock... I dare to say this music is not even rock in any way, this is just odd pop crap with a heavy gay feel, nothing to do with Robby, not at all! I'm using this space to warn people who likes Robby's music NOT to get cheated on this shit!

| 'This is just odd pop crap with a heavy gay feel'. Wouldn't know about that !!! WTF - What a great and useful description for an album -NOT!!!I know Valensia's stuff is not everyone's cup of tea, & if you don't like it then fair enough, but for gods sake. If you expected this to sound like RV, then you didn't do your homework very well did you!!!.

| Yup I've had this for a few months now after tracking it down and I like it just plenty granpaw. As Jez points out it may not be everyones cup of tea but if you persevere it pays a few dividends. The RV songs on here are the most straight forward with Valensia coming up with some strange stuff (as he does on what I've heard of his solo albums), for instance Al Salam Aleikum is all over the place until the chorus kicks in and that's a fave track currently. Can't decide if I prefer this to the 1st
