This album really sums up everything you need to about Dollar, in ways that are probably unintentional. It's a pleasant-enough listen, kicking off with the title track in a suitably galactic mood. The first thing you'll notice is that it sounds more like a David Van Day solo track than a Dollar duet.

The same is true of Who Were You With In The Moonlight and the Bugatti/Musker track Love Street. Christopher Neil's reliable - but predictable - production and backing singers (including, one suspects, himself) adds enough polish to support Van Day in his self-promotion, with Thereza Bazar barely registering in any meaningful way until Side 2. But the stand-out track of the album, Love's Got A Hold Of Me, turns out to be a Bazar solo performance - reportedly due to him being too hung over on the day to contribute to the recording. It becomes obvious that Bazar could have, should have, had much more space on this album than she got.
Given that Van Day had (allegedly) not intended to leave all the singing to her on that track, she would have featured even less than she did if he'd stayed sober. The story goes that he was so furious that it became such a big hit with him having to promote it alongside her singing it herself, that he vowed never to allow that to happen again - despite that being exactly her role alongside him on most of the rest of the album. One other track to listen out for in particular is the Side 1 closer Star Control.

Perhaps influenced by Frank Farian's Boney M track Nightflight To Venus, it depicts a pair of lonely space probes drifting out of range of Earth into deep space, plaintively asking each other 'where do we go from here?' Performed on vocoder by both Bazar and Van Day (you can actually recognise their individual styles despite the vocoders), it's a unique and melancholy track that Christopher Neil must have been proud of.
