"Into Tomorrow's" spacious production it's rhythmic mix of horns, organ and funky drums echoed late sixties like Julie Driscoll, Brian Auge & The Trinity. But it's driving force was Weller's gutsy delivery. Both his passionate vocal and his vibrant guitar style made it new and special. The backwards guitar solo hinted at '66-era Beatles, which was his influence a decade earlier, so everything goes in circles or Round and Round. The singles two other tracks had a great Acid jazz feeling, with "Here's A New Thing" looked at the Latin part of the soul history with a funky bassline. "The hardest thing is letting go / But once you do, life starts to flow""Here's a New Thing...Gotta let go of the past". That Spiritual Feeling was a leftover from the rejected last Council album, that now had a makeover by the Jb's brass section, and its The Paul Weller Movement on Acid ...Jazz ;-) The release of a new greatest hits album by The Jam, that sold very well, put the focus back on Weller. The Jam sold good but the message from Paul was clear and that was that he was moving forward.
And he moved forward with a new tour "Live Part II" and a change of symbols, a multi coloured Mod target which was found on the record cover and on posters advertising the gigs. Again he didn't want to do the tour but it was necessary for the development. And later he said it was the best thing that happend to him becouse he now was back oncourse. The line up for the tour was changed: Linda Duggan and Zeita Messiah on backing vocals and Henry Thomas on bass. The horns was only played by Geeeard Pescener. The live set was a mix of old and new songs again. This is last part of the Movement story with the release of the singel and with a recording of a video of the gig at the Brixton Academy,(the night after the tragic death of the great Steve Marriot be in memory on the video with the song Tin Soldiers). The Movement had fullfill their obligationens and Paul Weller had once again had to move on. He's self esteem was oce again built up and it was time to skip to hide behind a band name. The solo person was born and the story of the Paul Weller Movement end's here.

Thanks for your time.
