Area 4

The second – and, as far as most listeners were concerned, final – album from London's Then Jerico stands as the group's defining moment, containing their biggest hit (the rousing, synth-rocking title track) and best presentation, courtesy of former Roxy Music producer Rhett Davies. His polished, sweeping soundscapes match the band's anthemic songwriting well, even if they do remove some of the live excitement that was also a staple of Then Jerico's appeal.

Welcome to the Kenosha Area, a vibrant and diverse community nestled on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan in southeastern Wisconsin. Midway between Milwaukee and Chicago, the Kenosha Area is an ideal getaway destination any time of the year.
