 Mono... July 27, 2008
I downloaded Still In The Game and although it's recorded at 256, it's MONO. So, if you don't mind a mono download, by all means...
 Steve Winwood's third solo album May 27, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is Steve's third solo album and second with Will Jennings as co songwriter. The main problem with this album is that Steve chose to go it alone instead of using a band. Many of the songs on here would come across better if he was using real players but just about everything is done with synths which gives the album a very dry feeling to me. Several of the songs would come across pretty well had he used a band-Valerie, And I Go, While There's A Candle Burning, Still In The Game and Help Me Angel shows signs of being really good songs.
 Winwood Is Still In The Game January 30, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Steve Winwood's 1982 solo album, "Talking Back To The Night," is a breezy, cheerful delight. Winwood plays all of the instruments himself, and the very-catchy songs on this album are among Steve's best, including the classic "Valerie," and other winners like "Big Girls Walk Away," "Still In The Game," "Help Me Angel," and the excellent, made-for-cruising title track. Yes, this is unquestionably Steve's most synthesiser-heavy album, (after all, it was made in 1982), but I think his synth sound here is simply wonderful and uplifting (as is his singing, songwriting, performing & production chops). I love the charming "do-it-yourself" vibe that Steve gives the music on this disc! So go ahead and pick up "Talking Back To The Night," one of my personal favorites from the multi-talented Steve Winwood.
sounds like he sat down and just played October 20, 2005

This album is interesting (1982). It sounds like he sat down at a keyboard and drum machine and simply recorded the entire album. It's very raw and simple (complex at the same time) with little production and it is almost entirely steve winwood, a drum box, and keyboards. There's good stuff on here includinghelp me angel, valerie, and talking back to the night. Chronicles(1987) features versions of those songs listed above and are much more produced and much more powerful. Valerie, from chronicles, has been played on mainstream radio since then. I love winwood's vocal range and his keyboard patterns and it's interesting to hear a rock album so stripped down. This album is much better than 1980s arc of a diver (while you see a chance). Winwood is also renound for doing many different things and this album was much different than back in the high life (1986) which was much more organic but still electric. Overall, good album and a must for winwood fans.
great 80s synth-pop October 1, 2005

I actually like this one better than Arc of a Diver (unlistenable?!?) and Back in the High Life. While I love Winwood in all his guises (Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, Traffic, etc), this album has always been my personal favorite. Valerie (this version is much better than later one with revised drum track and vocals) and Still in the Game are the highlights for me (if you're of a certain age, you'll recall seeing the videos on MTV), although the ballads are also excellent. I can't recall how many papers I wrote in high school and college with this album on repeat in the background. The guy's talent is limitless.
