About the album
From the sessions emerged songs that, although not all made it to the final cut of the album, had their own journey. For example, "And the Sun Will Shine" was released as a single in France, paired with "Really and Sincerely". Other compositions like "Words" became a worldwide hit, while tracks such as "Barker of the UFO" and "Sir Geoffrey Saved the World" appeared on single B-sides. The album itself, Horizontal, was released by labels like Polydor in many countries, and in the United States and Canada through Atco. In 2007, it was reissued including stereo and mono mixes, as well as previously unreleased material.
The way they worked on Horizontal involved constant experimentation with textures and arrangements. One can perceive how Bill Shepherd’s orchestra was not merely an added accompaniment at the end, but an integral part of the songwriting process, providing crucial feedback to the Gibb brothers. This approach allowed them to explore a more personal and daring sound, laying the groundwork for what would come next in their career.
