Naked Eyes were in peak form for their debut, showing a highly likable, warmer side to the often cold and detached synth-duo form. The songs they're best known for, &Always Something There to Remind Me,& &Promises, Promises& and &When the Lights Go Down,& are all included here, though the album can also be found in its entirety (save for one track) on the more readily available Promises, Promises: The Very Best of Naked Eyes. [For some reason, Naked Eyes' debut was released in slightly different forms on either side of the Atlantic. Naked Eyes, released a month after its British counterpart, Burning Bridges, was given new artwork and dropped two tracks. Both tracks were reinstated for the Very Best Of collection.]
