DeGARMO & KEY – Street Light [Gilder Records Remastered] (2022), MP3+FLAC
Here we have more from the just released second batch of DeGARMO & KEY ’80s albums digitally remastered. Released in 1986 on Power Discs Records, ”Street Light” was the band’s seventh studio album and one of their best.
Following the previous more keyboard driven albums, ”Street Light” brings the band closer to their earlier rock roots: it was 1986 and melodic rock was the order of the day. Unlike many CCM bands at that time, the quality of their production, mix & mastering (here handled by top guy Bob Ludwig) was not far below that of their secular counterparts.
”Street Light” is quite clearly an ’80s album – as demonstrated by the record jacket, which pictures Eddie DeGarmo in one of those knee-length hot pink overcoats that
DeGARMO & KEY – Commander Sozo [Gilder Records Remastered] (2022), MP3+FLAC
A few weeks ago we featured here the first DeGARMO & KEY albums fully remastered for the first time, now we have here the second batch reissue 2022, and their 1985 LP “Commander Sozo & The Charge of The Light Brigade” is one of our favorites. And that’s simply because this is a 1984-1985 production, with ‘that mid-80s’ US sound production.
While DeGARMO & KEY origins were rock&pop / slightly bluesy melodic rock based, by the time “Commander Sozo & The Charge of The Light Brigade” was written & recorded, DeGarmo & Key fully embraced the synth-driven AOR style from the era.
There’s loads of vintage and modern synths, big drums, sharp clean guitars and catchy choruses, all perfectly polished and this remast
