Aug. 20, 2025: Temporary Message Board Closure The company hosting the message board sprung a surprise price hike on me that would have more than tripled the monthly hosting costs, so I've been scrambling to find an alternative. I've purchased a license for self-hosting a different platform and am hiring a consultant to migrate the existing board's content (posts, user profiles, etc.). However, this means I need to shut down the message board for anywhere from 3 days to (hopefully less than) a week so the data can be migrated. While this is an expensive proposition up front, it should result in some long-term savings. The current message board will be closed down at some point this Saturday, August 23. I will post updates here. The main site (where you are reading this), will NOT be affected. -Dan

Superb third solo album from mr Martin! The record varying between pure AOR and pop/rock songs.It starts with the super AOR track "These Are The Good Times" from the movie Iron Eagle, this must be one of my alltime favourite songs..GREAT! He also does an exellent verion of the ballad "Everytime I Think Of You" (also done by FM)."I Can't Relax" is a very good pop/rock song.I must also mention another of the highlights, the strong uptempo AOR track "Crazy World Like This".Eric Martin sings with a

Other good work of Eric Martin, Otra buen trabajo de AOR de Eric Tan bueno como su obra anterior, mis favoritos These Are The Good Times(del soundtrack aguilas de acero un temazo) Y Confess (mis favoritos), Crazy World Like This, This Is Serious, I Can't Relax el resto de temas no tan AOR mas en una onda Pop, con saxo y todo eso. pero los temas mencionados si son buenos.

En este trabajo se aprecia al Eric Martin más estiloso y suave aunque ya apunta toda la tremenda calidad vocal que también mostraría con los Mr.Big.Los temas más redondos del disco: “These are the good times” es un tema lleno de vitalidad y energía elegante y “Crazy world like this”,lleno de sentimiento con una sensacional melodía y gran lírica.“Everytime I think of you”,se trata de una pieza de lujoso Aor que más tarde también interpretaron fantásticamente Fm en su “Tough it out” del ´89. Bueno

Me parece un excelente disco,AOR suave con bastante melodía y temas pegadizos,These are the good times gran apertura;este tema la toca JIM y REFUGEE cada una a su estilo,sigue con un casi pop tema pero para nada aburrido y esa gran balada que FM tambien la toca en su Tough it out, Every time i think of you genial!,I Can´t relax y Confess son mis favoritas,ah me olvidaba de Crazy world like this donde Robin beck tambien la canta,en general gran disco con su toque personal de este gran cantante,9/10.

I`ve heard 'These Are The Good Times' done by another singer (somebody from Toto, maybe), and 'Crazy World Like This' by Robin Beck, so Eric really rocks!!! Nice vocal, all time must-have in any collection...
