E.S.P.
E.S.P. is the seventeenth studio album (fifteenth worldwide) by British group Bee Gees. Released in 1987, it was the band’s first studio album in six years, and their first release under their new contract with Warner Bros. It marked the first time in twelve years the band had worked with producer Arif Mardin, and was their first album to be recorded digitally. The album sold well in Europe, reaching No. 5 in the UK, No. 2 in Norway and Austria, and No. 1 in Germany and Switzerland, though it barely made the top 100 in the US. The album’s first single, “You Win Again”, reached No. 1 in the UK, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Norway.-Wikipedia
Critic Reviews

The Second Disc
E.S.P. fused the Bee Gees’ traditional melodic sensibility with thick, metallic production, drum machine beats and electronic instrumentation, and the stomping, majestic “You Win Again” proved that the group’s harmonies could flourish in such a setting.

All Music
ESP is another effort by the Bee Gees to return to the pop charts, this time capturing the band in an attempt to add some street beats and mild hip-hop to their standard adult pop. At times, the makeover works, such as on the title track and "Crazy for Your Love," but most of the time it flails and falls on its face, most notably on the crushingly awkward "Backtafunk." It's sort of interesting as a curiosity, but only for dedicated fans.
