This one has been requested by one fan of ’80s Canadian Rock, and as at 0dayrox we’re are fans of the scene too, it’s a pleasure to feature here IDLE EYES first album, the self-titled “Idle Eyes” from 1984. This is the now rare and hard to find ($ 100) only CD remastered version of “Idle Eyes”, done by respected label Wounded Bird Records.

Idle Eyes is best known for the Canadian hit single “Tokyo Rose”, which opens the album. To make it more complete, we added as extras two different versions of the song (12” Extended Version, Dub Mix), vinyl rips, the only format available.

IDLE EYES overall style is that exquisite mix of AOR, rock&pop and new wave which many bands from the mid-80s did, but this band has a special ‘smooth sound’. There’s something of Mr. Mister there, however IDLE EYES has an unmistakable Canadian touch.

The singles ‘Tokyo Rose’ and ‘All Day’ won awards from SOCAN as two of the top ten most played songs on Canadian radio in 1985, and lead IDLE EYES to tour extensively as an opening act for Loverboy, Bryan Adams, TOTO and many more.

We love this band, and while later they released other good albums, “Idle Eyes” has a unique ’80s Magic’.
