I have seen this rare UK 1980 indie LP mentioned in NWOBHM and other "metal" pages, but the plain truth is that this an AOR gem, with keyboards very much to the fore on a lot of tracks. I would cite the sound of the band Export as an approximate equivalent, and maybe Chevy on the tracks which are more guitar based. Either way, the melody of the songs hits you more than any "rifferama" rating. This is in no small part due to the excellent production and arrangements - everything is crystal clear, and the music isn't swamped with layers of extra sounds (which they wouldn't have been able to recreate live, anyway). The lead vocals remind me of Demon's Dave Hill, so no complaints there. The occasional backing vocals let things down ever so slightly in my opinion, but this is still a superb hard rock obscurity that deserves to be heard.
