Several new instruments within the band Dave Gregory's Rickenbacker 12-string, Andy Partridge's new acoustic guitar, and Terry Chambers' new drum synthesizer, along with Colin Moulding's fretless bass set the tone for English Settlement, an album that moved away from the pop gloss of Black Sea in favor of light, though still rhythmically heavy, acoustic numbers with more complex and intricate instrumentation. There are plenty of pop gems "Senses Working Overtime" stands as one of their finest songs but the main focus seems to be the more expansive sound; most of the songs are drawn out to near-epic length, ultimately taking away some of the songs' impact. 

Tracks : Runaways/ Ball and chain/ Senses working overtime/ Jason and the Argonauts/ Snowman/ Melt the guns/ No thugs in our house/ Yacht dance/ English roundabout/ All of a sudden (it’s too late).   There are a few light spindle marks on labels.
