Fair enough. Strong objection was not the best way of putting it
. You probably have a fair point in that I havn't heard 'A Little Green Rosetta' enough to form an avid dislike for it yet, but we shall see. I have to admit, 'Lemme Take You To the Beach'- which I've heard on 'Studio Tan'- strikes me the same way. This could be cause I'm taking it in the wider context of the album, as opposed to an individual track, atm, where I feel it connects 'Revised music for guitar and low-budget Orchestra' and 'RDNZL' quite nicely, if quirkily. It's different to 'A Little Green Rosetta' in that regard, as it serves a a connector track as opposed to one that ends an album and/or disc. I do appreciate that you might be going on your impressions of 'Lemme Take Yo to the Beach' from it's (entirely different) context on 'Lather', however, which I've not yet recieved nor listened to. Could just be a matter of time before I reach that one's expiration date, also, then!
Sounds like 'Man From Utopia' is not a favourite with you!
I'm not venturing into his 80's-90's work deliberately for a time being yet. Wana get to grips with all his work preceding then, first (which I've now aquired most of, bar some posthumous and/or live works) and/or that is non-synclavier (was surprised 'Joe's Garage' never had any synclavier work on it; had in my head from somewhere that this album was his first venture into using this tool to replace muscians). I wana leave that chunk of his career for me to explore later and at a better, more fitting time (after having really gotten to know his ealier works). Even so, this is one I know little about, but, on front cover and album title alone- aswell as simply being a more straight forward/traditional studio album (if memory serves me corect) in content- its held me for particular intrigue! The few opinions I've heard voiced on it have been mixed, also, some having an affinity for it and some not. Be interesting to see how I find it when I eventually get it and give it a listen!

There's probably good music on it, but what sticks in my mind is the bad. Just typing this, I've got part of Dangerous Kitchen stuck in my head |
