Good harmonies..that´s what it´s all about.The songs are clever built with beautiful chordchanges,great vocal harmonies.This is a true masterpiece.
I agree , Mikael !!! a REAL MASTERPIECE !!! this is definitely one of the best CD's in my collection !!!
Well, I thought (and I still..) think that the best westcoast records came out in 79-83,apart from some exceptions.. I´was totally hooked in all these funky and smoth R&B-touched songs...personally I´d miss the time, however, as I got the ENDLESS SUMMER CD, by chance suddenly there was it...James Studer´s CD`is a remarkable and sucessfull "try" to tansform 80th westcoast sound in the 90th..Can anyone back up this?
if i could take 10 cd´s on an island. this is nr.1!! great wc-sound, great harmonys, great songs...perfect
Pure Westcoast bliss. This should have been massive.
Buen disco de Aor/Westcoast, sonido similar a Planet3/Clif Magness/Think Out Loud/Bridge 2 Far aunque más Westcoast que éstos. Tranquilo para esos fines de semana que quieres relajarte.
Okay, everybody’s taste is different in this WC genre but: this record is an essential must (!!!) And I emphasise everyone (yes everyone !!!!!!!!!) to catch that magnificent CD. I’ve got this CD short after release, by chance and I bought it not because of the music. This CD cover is full of atmosphere and reminds me on cool times during my stay in Australia/Byron Bay in mid 90th. Probably the best Westcoast - AOR album of the 90's !!!! 10 magnificent songs: pearls of melody everywhere, incredible vocals and crystal clear production. the production is world-class! The song "Tokyo Woman" is an excellent start of the album..Pure class!"Say You Love Me" is little more AOR while the "Holding Back The Tears" is a pure Planet 3 ballad...SUPER. Ebay offers some of these rare items from time to time. Take care Michael
In my opinion this is nothing less than "Airplay II"! And as Pt. 1 you get 10 hidden tracks no radio station would dare to play and many westcoast fans have no idea of until today. What an utter shame! The guys here say it all: a must buy, but good luck finding it!
Do you have a band member named Danny Flanngan
