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.

THE GREAT THING about the record business during the 1970s was the fact that labels allowed bands to develop organically, often over several albums. Goddo power-trio / hard rock style was pretty unique. Here’s the band 3rd effort “An Act Of Goddo”, their most ambitious work.

AMBROSIA – Road Island [Rock Candy remaster] (2014)
“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.
