Soon after the Galactic Heroes made their debut album,'How About San Francisco?', Ricky moved to Japan, leaving Mike in South Carolina. This, however, didn't stop them from continuing to write and record music. This single is divided into two parts: the 'made in Japan' side consists of two songs that Ricky wrote and recorded, which he sent to Mike to add parts to, and on the flip ('made in USA' side) are two songs that Mike recorded and sent to Ricky. Well, I say four songs, but there is a short (6-20 second) song at the beginning of each side welcoming you to their respective country, and at the end, introducing the other member (a la Sgt. Pepper). The songs themselves are very uptempo great songs in the vein of their first record, like the Apples In Stereo or Of Montreal without the weirdness. I really like this band a lot, and I hope they keep up recording, so we can get another album out of them soon! MTQ=4/4
