Foster Pilkington - Listening Land (Arista)

A name to watch, and what a ridiculous name it is too (look who's talking - Ed).
Pilkington, real name Zodiac Lovethrust, is obviously a student of The Housemartins' school of songwriting, featuring a natty line in obscure lyrics and presenting an instantly forgettable end product.
As you'll gather, he's hardly my cup of tea, but somebody out there must like him. 1/5 (Dave Ling, No 1, July 26, 1986)

Poor old Foster, the thinking man's Jilted John. His neurotic live shows make your toes curl with embarrassment, and his constant whinging has all the force of a South African reform bill. This heathen music business is not for you, my man. Stamp collecting would be a much more appropriate vocation. (Stuart Bailie, Record Mirror, July 19, 1986)
