| Delightful Canadian AOR. Haven't heard the 2nd album, but if it's even close to this- it's worth owning. Put Skagarack, AKA, The Koo, Starship, and Styx into a blender and this is what you'd get. Plenty of keys and a mix of lite and uptempo tunes.

| This CD, in my opinion, is a pop masterpiece. Looking back, there were many problems trying to get this thing to sound right and it took far too long to record. The mixing board was cracked in half by vandals and never repaired properly. Paul Piccari and I mixed this entire record and it was painstaking. We had to use some mixes that weren't as good as others because crackles and pops plagued the better versions. It was difficult but the outcome was alright. Glad you still like it! Jimmy Katone

| this band is not Canadian, they r from New Jersey/P.A. area. This is a great album and a very catchy album indeed!!! An aor lover's dream, Magic, Moment, Don;t Look, and Too Late are great. It was released in 89, but to me, sounds more like early 80's in the type of songs, this is a great one and not easy to find. Good production!!! One of my all time favs!!!! Over and Over should of been the hit!!!

| What can I say, one of the best albums of the 80's if you can find it! Hit the ground runnin defined what the rock was about 2 decades ago, great songs, great musicianship and production that was perfected. Love to hear more from these chaps.

| Yeah this is a must for any AOR fan. Awesome keyboarddominated 80's AOR here! Great melodies! Only the production could've been better, but all in all, a highly recommended CD...

| Average and boring. A really poor album. Not only weak productionwise but also lacking any real standout tracks. Honestly I wouldn't buy it even for 5 bucks. Or maybe I should so I could make a fortune reselling it, lol.

| This band is awesome and features superb catchy, melodic AOR that's played to perfection. It reminds me of bands like SKAGARACK, STARSHIP, THE KOO and REDSTONE. It's just one of those CDs that defines AOR and it's a top collector's piece.......extremely difficult to find these days. The vocal harmonies, big keys, solid guitars and brilliant musicianship makes this absolutely essential. One of best CDs for AOR affectiones.....

| $823.17..if you are lucky enough to find it in E-bay...the most expensive album in the site as Rafo Phoenix said some comments ago..ok for me the album has its moments but honestly i wouldn't give this much money for it..as i said it has its moments...to start the review i must say that if you are into these bands(The Outfield and Reo Speedwagon-if Reo sounded this 'poppy')then you might appreciate this release...Blair Ramsey is voice alike to Tony Lewis(The Outfield)& Kevin Cronin and the tracks could easily fit into an The Outfield album..ok,let's get to the point..'Magic' is a very good opening track,the way it should be in starters,'Moment To Moment' nice mid tempo,the kind of songs i love to hear,'Slow Motion' is the first highlight of the album,good track indeed,'Don't Look' is agood song,normal stuff..then the rest of the songs are the ones i liked the best,'Oh No!' & 'An Original' started to involve me more in the listening,very cool tracks..'Over&Over'...continue...

| ...continue...'Who's Walking You Home' & 'Too Late' are just amazing songs and the last one 'While It Lasted' is just the peak of the mountain,the one that caught my attention completely..The Outfield (musically and vocally),Starship(Delbert's comment)and Reo Speedwagon(being poppier and mostly because the voice comparisson too) are the closest bands i could think of.Not a bad album,enjoyable 4 us,the AOR listeners but not too essential,if u can grab this cheaper,do it,if not,don't get mad about it...as i always say,just a matter of taste.90/100

| Come jimmy and Paul a d the rest of the group, talk to aor heaven or rock candy records lets get this little gem remastered and rereleased and get a few more royalties in ur pockets. Hell lets get a couple of bonus songs that you guys did for this gem as well. Good music should be enjoyed by all without a fucking cd - fucking - r piece of crap copy.

| Hey Dan, What happened why did you place the value of this cd at a value of a buck? Did the guys yell at you or did they rerelease this?
