Stuart and Cristiano flip over 'E.S.P.' and discuss the second side of the album, which proves to be an eclectic handful of songs, going from the career-spanning more-rap-less-crap 'This Is Your Life' to the Motown pastiche 'Crazy For Your Love', and all the way to the funky grooves of 'Backtafunk'.

In 1987, six years since their last studio album, the brothers returned. Reuniting with Arif Mardin, and equipped with all of the contemporary production effects and studio technology, the resulting album, 'E.S.P.', was a fresh-sounding embarkation into the next chapter in the tale of the Brothers Gibb. Heralded by the chart-topping single 'You Win Again', the Bee Gees were back in the spotlight... at least in most territories outside of North America. Stuart and Cristiano discuss the story of how this album came to be, detailing the brothers' new record deal with Warner, and examine the five songs which comprise side one of 'E.S.P.'

Throughout the first half of the 1980s, as the Bee Gees took a break from their band moniker and looked towards writing and producing for other artists, and Barry and Robin explored the next stages of their solo careers, Maurice was all the while tinkering away in the background, writing music intended for the background. This episode explores the soundtrack works (and various leftover compositions) composed by Maurice. This covers 'Living Eyes' era instrumentals, a Marti Webb showtune, a solo single and various film scores, the primary example being the music for 1984's 'A Breed Apart'. Stuart and Cristiano work their way through this eclectic collection of music, shining a light on Maurice's deft synthesiser skills and craft for arranging evocative soundscapes.
