Never issued in the United States,
's second album,
, is a masterpiece of snakey, spaced-out soul and pre-mainstream disco. Produced and recorded by Euro soul kings Dieter Zimmerman and Dave Virgin King (who, along with Puthli, composed these tracks), this title stands head and shoulders over her debut for its consistently soulful grooves and lush arrangements. The five-and-a-half minute "Space Walk" is a classic break track and showcases
's vocals in the same class and range of
's or
's. She makes full use of her remarkable range and emotes from the hip on the title track, the gritty funk of "Flying Fish," and on the pop soul of "Hello Everyone." With glissando strings shimmering and hovering above the mix and compressed guitar riffs,
knew how to extract the maximum from his production dollar. Nowhere is this more evident than on "Say Yes," a weeper with a full choir backing
in an arrangement similar to those of
on
. The
is one of the more enduring pieces of seventies' Euro soul; despite its dated-sounding production techniques, its songs and
's voice stand the test of time very well. ~ Thom Jurek
