Not quite as solid as Todd Terry's always excellent remixes and singles, Ready for a New Day still benefits from several collaborations, with divas Jocelyn Brown, Martha Wash, and Shannon, as well as male singers like Roland Clarke (from Urban Soul) and Bernard Fowler (the Peech Boys, Rolling Stones). The appearance of his previous single "Something Goin' On" is welcome, as are two tracks with moderate breakbeats. Though most of the album covers previous territory, that's hardly a problem for a producer of Terry's stature and longevity.

Supergrass reissued their 1997 album In It For The Money in 2021. The band’s second album is be available as a remastered, expanded 3CD set or on vinyl which comes with a bonus 12-inch single. The album was of course the follow-up to the band’s debut album I Should Coco (which was reissued in 2015) and features the singles ‘Going Out’, ‘Richard III’, ‘Sun Hits the Sky’ and ‘Late In The Day’. All of those were top ten hits, save for ‘Late In The Day’ which peaked at number 18. In America, ‘Cheapskate’ was the only single from the album.
One of the few Neo Prog albums I really like. It clearly reminds of Genesis (Peter Gabriel's era of course), but it's not a copy, it's more of a "continuation" of what has been done in the previous decade. In my opinion one of the best albums of the '80s.
