Must ║ │ │║ be a good year! AOR fans rejoice as 2008 ║ │ │║ continues to deliver great music from all facets ║ │ │║ of the scene. ║ │ │║ AOR has been somewhat overshadowed in recent ║ │ │║ years, but hits back in 2008 and Valentine add ║ │ │║ to the crop of must have CDs. ║ │ │║ Valentine 2008 follows the musical path of Hugo ║ │ │║ the solo artist. This is to my ears more or less ║ │ │║ a new Hugo solo album stylistically. The ║ │ │║ original valentine album was a little tougher ║ │ │║ and a little heavier. ║ │ │║ This 11 track album is filled with glorious AOR ║ │ │║ anthems and mid-tempo ballads which the band has ║ │ │║ written over the years û both new and old tunes. ║ │ │║ The two Hugo releases this year (Ramos/Hugo & ║ │ │║ Valentine) make interesting comparisons. ║ │ │║ The Ramos Hugo album could have used some more ║ │ │║ defined chorus hooks (which this album has ║ │ │║ plenty of) and this album could benefit from a ║ │ │║ better and tighter production (which Ramos Hugo ║ │ │║ had). ║ │ │║ Of the two albums I'll listen to this one more I ║ │ │║ think, just due to the nature of the songs and ║ │ │║ how catchy they are. ║ │ │║ Ramos/Hugo was a groweràthis one is an instant ║ │ │║ good fun record and more in keeping with Hugo ║ │ │║ the solo artist as we have come to love him. ║ │ │║ Not all of these songs are new, but the whole ║ │ │║ album was recorded in 2008. Yes, it could have ║ │ │║ used a bigger and better production; especially ║ │ │║ with the drum sound (isn't that always the ║ │ │║ way?). ║ │ │║ But I love these songs. The hands-in-the-air ║ │ │║ classic 80s sounds of Dream On The Way, Soul ║ │ │║ Salvation (great vocals!), Wait and the stand ║ │ │║ out anthem Every Time You Go Away are all ║ │ │║ wonderful. ║ │ │║ On a moodier note, Pickin' Up The Pieces ║ │ │║ delivers a tougher sound as does One More Chance ║ │ │║ with it's lush chorus and great harmonies. ║ │ │║ I'll Be The One is more acoustic based and has ║ │ │║ an almost country tinge to it. I think it offers ║ │ │║ a nice change of pace and showcases a different ║ │ │║ side of Hugo's vocals. ║ │ │║ Love Is All We're After is a kind of moody ║ │ │║ wistful pop rock ballad and an interesting way ║ │ │║ to close the album. Ballads are of course ║ │ │║ included and Love Song is one of the better for ║ │ │║ the year, I really like this one and it features ║ │ │║ another big Steve Perry like performance. ║ │ │║ Pages is a slower moodier track and features ║ │ │║ another class vocal. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Line Up: ║ │ │║ ╖ Hugo: Vocals ║ │ │║ ╖ Adam Holland: Guitars ║ │ │║ ╖ Mike Morales: Drums ║ │ │║ ╖ Gerard Zappa: Bass ║ │ │║ ╖ Craig Pullman: Keyboards ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Dream On The way [05:06] │ │ 02 - Pickin┤Up The Pieces [04:06] │ │ 03 - Soul Salvation [05:04] │ │ 04 - Interlude [01:01] │ │ 05 - Love Song [04:29] │ │ 06 - One More Chance [04:19] │ │ 07 - Pages [04:46] │ │ 08 - Every Time You Go Away [03:36] │ │ 09 - I┤ll Be The One [03:46] │ │ 10 - Wait [04:20] │ │ 11 - Love Is All We┤re After [03:53] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [44:26 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
