AlphaMale 87 Platinum Records and a Drug Addiction to Match

Another in my series of forgotten hard rock releases. Coming off their indie debut CD "Blaze", Flame were signed for a major label debut. The resulting self titled release was more polished and less raw but delivered some of my favorite tunes from 1992 in "Don't Look Down" (slightly different from the Blaze version), "Rain", and "If You Had A Heart" were are stellar, as was "Desperate Heart".

Overall, a pretty solid disc. It got absolutely no sales and I guess the flame went out.

Here are some pretty killer Flame tunes:

Yeah, I picked up the debut in a bargain bin as a pure blind purchase not long after it's release. 

"Don't Look Down" is a massive favorite of mine and one of the great killer tracks from that era.

Crap artwork? Yes, but it goes to show, "never judge a book...".

Exactly the same situation for me also. Don't Look Down, If You Had A Heart are great Rockers and Desperate Heart is a great Ballad.

      AI generated music… is this where we’re heading?

      By Darkstone · Posted

      Wow! Thank you so much mate. That's a massive compliment. That was the first one I wrote and I think it's my favourite so far. Like Geoff, I'm tending to draw on past personal experiences for my lyrics and that one means a lot. I was thrilled when the AI came up with that interpretation.

      Well this is some excellent news. Going to see Sophie Lloyds first headline show on 17th Oct in London (tiny club called The Underworld) and it has just been announced that the support act will be Chez Kane... can I handle two fit birds peforming on stage or will my heart give out before the show is over?

      Best albums of 2022

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I don't rate or grade albums with any kinda numbering system or percentage. All I do is think which were the albums I enjoyed most, which generally means got played the most (I mean you don't play the worst albums over and over again for months), with memorable songs. Then when it comes to what order they go in. Once again, I just go with what I feel got the most airplay for me over the course of time. Obviously an album released in Jan is gonna potentially have more play time than one released in November, but It's down to longevity as well. If I play an album solidly for a month then move on, it's probably gonna be top 10, but if other albums are still being played regularly 3 or more months after release, those are gonna rank higher. I mean this year Judas Priest was a fairly early release in the year, but I am still playing it now, although  not as often. Then an album like Mick Mars which I loved, but has kinda fallen off my radar in the last six months, will rank a lot lower. I try to not go for recency bias as well even though I have been listening to one album in my top 10 for only a week, but it was such an insantaneous album I know its gonna get heavy play time for the next few months.
