awesome, specially "lonely in each other's arms", only i've been listen songs like this from "future world orchestra" or "byrne & barnes
To Rich. Yes, its true Rock-it records doenst even exist they are cheap CD-Rs, made in home by this ebay seller, known as ''vegascds'' i have also bought some cds from him, on the so called ''rockit records'' label, and they are totally pirated. Since the cds on rockit records are very very hard to find, people will pay a lot of money, and they dont even know that are bootlegs. so friends..beware.
what's wrong with you? don't you see that the the only monster ballad or rock ballad or aor wherever, is "lonely in each other's arms". thanks god in chile play this song.
Quality right to the bone this album. Tom Kelly is the born westcoast singer and remindes us of Airplay and Fools Gold. This is not the typical advanced westcoast music with syncopation, horns, 2-harmonized guitarsolos and stuff, but more a rock-guitar driven album with the song in focus. It took me awhile to get a hold of this album, but when I now own it, I regard it as one of the milestones in the golden era of westcoast and AOR-music.
This is what Westcoast music is all about. Utterly essential for all westcoast lovers!
This is exactly the kind of sample page at this website that leaves you frantically searching, hellbent on getting the album. Anyway, I got it and I was not disappointed. Mostly it’s guitar driven rock however there are also quality keyboard elements that play a big role in certain tracks. You can play this album right through. No real filler. A lot the songs are quite straightforward in one sense but they are with quality touches that see them from falling into bland category. Overall a 9/10 to me. A definite classic. By the way, just thought I’d mention that I got my copy off a big seller on ebay who seems to be listing them about once every month. It says in the listings that they are the “2005 Italian re-issue on Rock-It Records”. Before bidding I searched google for Rock-It records and I could not find any info so I thought, It’s probably a pirate. I thought at least it would be created so it looked real but anyway, I got it.. and..no... it is a cd-r, not even a silver back cd. The cd sounds fine (probably just direct rip of an original copy) and the artwork is ok (the cd-r however= ridiculously bad looking) This seller offers many extremely rare and valuable out of print AOR/melodic albums on ‘Rock-it records’ and ‘Time Warp’ records Italy and all kinds of names I can’t find any info on. So, like I say.. just for your information…If you ever have a chance to buy I-ten on ‘Rock it records’.. It’s a pirate cd-r (and probably any other re-issue albums you hear of on ‘Rock-It records’ are the same type of cd-r pirate. Anyway, Great Album. Thanks
great album, the voice sounds a little like "boston" , my fav. song is:Quicksand. enjoy it
