• Track Listing

Howard’s fourth LP (1989) was his last to chart in the U.S. That Elektra LP sent two hits to the U.S. and UK charts: "The Prisoner" and "Everlasting Love." The synths we expect from the synth-pop star are here in abundance, but so are some lovely piano passages from Howard as we also hear "Powerhouse," "Last Supper," "Cross That Line," "Out of Thin Air" and more. "Cross That Line" returns now on limited-edition 140-gram silver vinyl featuring an inner sleeve with new notes and track-by-track annotation. Or, go deluxe: a 16-page booklet, the complete remastered album and a wealth of bonus cuts (the Danny D 12" edit of "Powerhouse," early mixes of "Modern Man," "Fresh Air Waltz," "Cross That Line," alternate mixes of "Everlasting Love," "The Prisoner," rehearsal recordings, instrumental versions and more). The deluxe set contains a DVD, too: a 2020 interview with Howard in which he talks about making the album, a track-by-track commentary and promo videos of "Everlasting Love" and "The Prisoner"!
