2am – When Every Second Counts 1987


I love this album! 2am´s “When every second counts” must be one of the best British hi-tech AOR releases.Almost every song here could be released as a single back then but the lack of promotion from the label forced the duo to split up a year later in 1988.

01. Never Gonna Let You Escape
02. You’re The One
03. Somebody, Someday
04. Who Will You Run To
05. Too Late
06. Lost Souls
07. Running With The Same Old Crowd
08. Never Feel This Way Again
09. Dreams And Promises
10. Now Y
