Peter Gabriel - Big Time (Virgin)

More fun and games from the nicest man of all at the BPI awards. He still sings a bit like Phil Collins (or is it the other way around?) and though this is not quite as immediately striking as "Sledgehammer", it's just as funky, and proves yet again that there is life after Jonathan King. (Barry McIlheney, Smash Hits, March 11, 1987)

Hasn't this been out for ages? I just don't think that serious music listeners are going to be fooled by this. "Red Rain" was much better. This goes on forever and sounds very smarty-pants - lots of musicians and things happening in the background, trying to make it sound interesting. It should never have been released as a single. (Owen Paul, No 1, March 28, 1987)
