Another World (The Roches album)

Richard Gottehrer was among the album's many producers. The trio added drum machines and synthesizers to their sound in part to appeal to radio, but primarily because they were interested in experimenting with the technology. They wrote 17 songs, choosing seven for the album. "Come Softly to Me" is a cover of the Fleetwoods' song. ==Critical reception==

The New York Times wrote that, "instead of emphasizing individual quirks, the vocal arrangements on the new album favor a sweetly homogenized blend, and the instrumentation makes liberal use of drum machines and synthesizers." The Orlando Sentinel deemed the album "a flashy brand of pop-rock—the kind with bouncy arrangements and polished production." ==Track listing==
