Less concerned with attaining hits, Chasing Shadows is a return to form
and an attempt to just make a good record. It's also the result of an
association with Robert Palmer, a fan who executive produced the
record. Despite dated production and material that doesn't match the
band's first three records, the members refer to it as their fourth
record. (So they essentially disown both Land and 7 Day Weekend.)
That's because there's focus on the music, not allowing any room for
outside concerns. Since the late-'80s production values sounded dated
within a few years of release, the songs that hold up best are the ones
with the most basic arrangements. "The Cutting Edge," "Carried Away,"
and "Pray for Rain" offer the best moments, and they're also the most
quiet and most simplistic. Andy Peake plays plaintive piano for most of
the record, instead of his usual synth stylings and frosty
atmospherics. Other songs like the driving opener "The Thing That
Counts" and "Under the Influence" are almost heavy, probably their
closest to flat-out rock to date. One thing that Chasing Shadows
suffers from is an almost cold, clinical feel. Even with the band's
most dejected early material, there was a sense of warmth that is
missing on approximately half of the record. As a benefit, it does
sound much more like the Comsat Angels than 7 Day Weekend. Definitely
not amongst the band's best, but a point of curiosity nonetheless.
