 Addictive games: the challenge of Avalon
Avalon utilises a diversity of physical, psychological and magical afflictions, such as ricketts and rabies, confusion and forgetfulness, and being turned into a shimmering mist rendered helpless to fireballs.
The powers within the realm, especially in Avalon: The First Age, all depend on a conflict between the mortals and immortals; peace is a time for tiring, nagging old men playing deaf just to be irritating.
The law in Avalon is simple, yet open to great embellishment: 'balance' (physical attack) and 'equilibrium' (magical attack), which are subject to timing, are offset by an array of preventative and remedial defences, which are instant.

Avalon was recorded in the wake of the band's first number one hit--a version of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy"--and although that song isn't on here, its tortured shadow looms large over "While My Heart Is Still Beating", the title track, and the unlikely Balearic anthem "More Than This".
As the title track 'Avalon" starts with the guitar playing the intro with slowly played Latin sounding percussion with the smooth voice of Mr Ferry crooning the opening line 'Now the Party's over', the song as features a stunning background vocal section singing 'Dancin', Dancin'.
The tunes are magical fantasies of mystic Britishness, set in a netherworld of Arthurian legend and the beaches of old Zanzibar for exotic effect.
