Audio Remasterers: Ken Perry; Bill Inglot. Liner Note Author: Grant Alden. Out of the ashes of his former band, The Soft Boys, Robyn Hitchcock formed The Egyptians (essentially The Soft Boys minus Kimberly Rew, who was soon to find international chart success with Katrina & The Waves). He'd already released three albums under his own name, culminating with I OFTEN DREAM OF TRAINS on which he hooked up with his erstwhile rhythm section. This is shimmering British psychedelia that has roots in Syd Barrett, The Byrds, The Beatles and countless other touchstones, but it comes out sounding like no one else. While the Egyptians don't have the sonic onslaught of The Soft Boys, they offer instead a broader, more evocative palette. This is a fine album that points the way to the succession of peaks that followed.
