Nutters Music

So said It Bites of their debut album-and they're almost right. Nutty it is, but also fun, demanding, and strange. As always it is the texures that tie it all together courtesy of John Beck's keyboards. It Bites were among a mere handful of progressive rock bands to actually take the music further in the 80's by successfully amalgamating the sounds of the classic prog bands with fusion, tongue in cheek humour, and the avant-garde such as Japan. Make no mistake though-this rocks hard when it wants. Francis Dunnery is a legendary guitarist among cognoscenti. He isn't as prominent here as an later albums but when he steps out as on "I Got You Eating Out of My Hand", "You'll Never Go To To Heaven" and the delicate solo acoustic "The Big Lad In The Windmill" he can take your breath away. An essential album.
