Metronome Records Stereo 1984
Again an underrated band with a rare album.
The sensational floating synthpop song "25 Years" shines like a diamond here to make them a "one hit wonder" band at least in the German speaking areas. I always listen to it together with Saphir - The Witch-Queen Of New Orleans (you can guess out why). The rest of the album is rather on the path of Robert Palmer, and perhaps Go West except the reggie influenced "Understood".
There are also two sweet calm songs "Thin Ice on a Frozen Heart" and "Balance on Wires" on it.
Interestingly, the singer has the same singing style -on some songs- as Moti Specials' fame Tissy Thiers.
The bonus tracks: On The Road Again is a cover version of Canned Heat's classic. Released in 1984 as the A side of the single with the same name.
Roger Daltrey - Balance On Wires (1987) is the rework of The Catch song from 1984. It was written by Don Snow who also played on keyboards here.
