earMUSIC has just put out new versions of SAGA albums pretty hard to find, or available in a poor sounding mastering. One that you need into your ’80s collection is the Canadian’s 1987 effort “Wildest Dreams“.
During the ’80s SAGA infused to their polished sound a strong Melodic Rock feel complete with swirling keyboard lines and catchy choruses. For their seventh studio album, Saga signed with Atlantic Records with the aim to finally conquer the US market.
Digitally recorded (DDD) and with a lite AOR / Hi-Tech sound, “Wildest Dreams” shocked the Seventies fans of the band, but us, Eighties suckers, really embraced this record with open arms.
