All Exclusive, Hard Rock, Melodic Rock | AOR Leave a comment

Sequel - Daylight Fright 1983
On their 2nd album, the boys of Sequel made a bit of a style change…hair was grown longer, guitars slung a bit lower, and one couldn’t help but notice a harder musical edge being honed – one that cut right to the top of Portland radio in the early 80’s.

03. Over You Now
04. It’s not me
05. Pull the Trigger

01 – Anacanapanacana
02 – So Walk On
03 – Chantal
04 – You’re So Cruel

Melodic Rock | AOR, Prog Metal Leave a comment


“Road Island” is my favorite Ambrosia record, as it includes superb melodic rock / AORish moments complemented with elaborated arrangements, all wrapped by a potent rocking sound.

The Rock Candy remaster is pristine and clear, much more defined than any “Road Island” previous CD edition.

01 – For Openers (Welcome Home)
02 – Still Not Satisfied
03 – Kid No More
04 – Feelin’ Alive Again
05 – How Can You Love Me
