Correspondence, Peter Godwin's first and only full-length solo studio album, came out on Polydor in 1983, the same year David Bowie put "Criminal World", a song Godwin had co-written back in his Metro days, on Let's Dance. The English new waver already had a following: "Images of Heaven" had become a cult favorite on new wave radio stations in 1982.
Love is the whole subject here, the record a romance from end to end, and Trouser Press's Ira Robbins filed it under well-crafted, adult synth-rock. It's sleek and composed, keyboards polished to a high sheen and Godwin crooning like a man in a tailored suit. Georg Kajanus has a songwriting credit on it, and CultureCatch's Robert Cochrane later praised the production and called the album a sublime confection. "Baby's in the Mountains" got a second life when its dance remix turned into a big club hit.
