Customer Reviews

Atlast a uk official release!
Many people have very jaded ideas about Toyah, her music and her personality. This Album stands as a testamony to challenge those prejudices. Toyah is certainly a victim of the music industry's ignorance and shorsightedness. Toah does not fit into easy categories. A Renaissance Woman. Take the Leap material was extensively toured throughout the UK. The six new original tracks 'Now I'm running', 'Lust for Love', 'Name of Love', Winter in wonderland', and 'God ceases to dream' more than justify the purchase of this Album. The four extra tracks are very illuminating, Two tracks 'Requite me' and 'Tears for Elie' are frankly astonishing, and it beggers believe that these are demos, and have remained unrealesed thus far!
Toyah's first release 'Sheepfarming in Barnet' (AP)is represented by 'Waiting', 'Neon Womb' the exceptional 'Elusive Stranger' and 'Our Movie'Re-recorded with the fantastic Friday Forever are stunning. The album even boasts a second version of 'waiting', and three pop tracks, the 80's classics 'Thunder in the mountains''Ieya''I wanna be free'

Disappointing rehashes and cheese rock
Being an avid Toyah fan for 25 years, since I heard It's A Mystery back in 1981 I was desperate to seek out this album. When I heard it I wished I hadn't.

The new songs are almost painful to listen to, with their rather average and cheesy rock tones being somewhat painful to endure. The rehashing of Sheep Farming In Barnet tracks only serve to ruin them. These songs needed no update and stand the test of time in their original form. All this album serves to do is muddy the production and smooth off all the excitingly rough edges. Did we really need a bunch of cabaret musicians to 'clean up' the spark of the original?

Toyah fans probably have to get it for completeness sake, and to be fair it isn't going to break the bank. It's important that you realise though, that you're not really getting anything particularly worthwile here.

Depends what you like i suppose
I have mixed opinions about this album, i have had it for years and rarely played it. I found the rock elements to be cliched and some of the lyrics less than inspiring. Having said that, i bought this release and my opinions havent changed about most of it. But, there are some new tracks on this release that have blown me away,the first being 'tears for ellie' and the second being 'requite me'. Both of which have been uploaded onto my ipod, the rest i can take or leave. The first half of the album is pretty much bog standard rock with a couple of decent tracks 'invisible love' and 'god ceases to dream' whilst the second half of the album is a rehash of 'sheep farming in barnet' Overall Toyah can do much better, if she recorded more songs like tears for ellie then she would produce a superb album. However she doesn't and its a shame. Some of her albums are excellent and some of it mediocre, this is the latter
