HUNTER - 'L.A. Crossfire' (1988-1991) - Just when you think there can't

possibly be any more unreleased treasures to dig up , Retrospect unleashes Los

Angeles-based Hunter. AOR and Melodic Rock fans rejoice! This release

has NEVER seen the light of day before in any format. Produced by Bobby

Kimball of Toto , the musicianship in Hunter is world-class and the hooks are

endless. Keyboardist Brook Hansen (Takara) sounds akin to Gregg Giuffria ,

Guitarist Michael Taris shreds and vocalist Stephen Hunter sounds like a

mix of Max Bacon and Jimi Jamison. This release also features the late

BILOXI vocalist Clyde Holly on 2 tracks recorded back in 1988. A classy slice

of AOR! Highly Recommended to fans of: Journey , GTR , Survivor , Biloxi ,

Giuffria , Fortune , Atlantic , I-Ten , Alliance , Arrival , Franke & The

Knockouts.

 

Picked this up a couple of weeks ago, absolute MONSTER CD. In fact the best thing I've heard on Retrospect to date IMO, true classic AOR - and great packaging on this one too. Like a cross between Giuffria/Biloxi/Network, it's essential to everyone who loves 80's AOR - and I don't remember hearing many vocal performances better than the one on this disc. What happened to this guy? He's like a mix of James Christian and Freddy Curci, and just soars all over this disc. Awesome find this...

 

 

Just got ' L.A Crossfire' this morning and it is a hell of a disc. Fantastic stuff.

 

I also got the 2 Michael Furlong albums 'Use It Or Lose It' & 'Breakaway that i have been waiting forever to see released on CD. If you like your AOR/MR stuff like a rockier Eddie Money, Bryan Adams etc then these little beauties are just for you.

      Thunder reissues part 2

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I wonder what control they have over the releases? That have promoted the BMG individual releases. The 2009 reissues were by original label, EMI. And this boxset seems weird being issued by Cherry Red. And I have not seen the bands social media promote it at all. I wonder if the reason the BMG ones were lacking in the bonus tracks from the previous reissue was EMI holding onto the rights, but have now allowed Cherry Red to release them. I know EMI used to be the distributer for Cherry Red, so they may be more forthcoming with the material.

      Babymetal

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
