For those who like to rock, avoid this album. For those whose tastes are a little more eclectic and aren't afraid of sampling new delicacies, than this will definitely be a tasty little morsel. The most striking element of the record is Poly's gorgeous singing, supported by the supple, jazzy arrangements. Clearly Translucence isn’t as aggressive or confrontational as her work with X-Ray Spex but equally as rewarding when taken as a whole piece of work.
