Da Vinci - Unreleased 3rd (booklet)1

DA VINCI was one of the best Scandi AOR bands of all time. Only 2 albums released, both filled with scorching tunes. The group entered into studio and recorded the 3rd album in 1990. But never was released... What happens in the middle?... A complete mystery.

[spoiler]They even put out a single as advance (tracks "Ain't No Goodbyes / "Blame It On The Radio", featured in my 'Most Wanted Scandi AOR Singles Ever Vol.2'). There's a compilation of these unreleased recordings, known as "The Lost Demos" or "Unfinished Business", shared here not so long ago by one of the reatest contributors of this blog: homer64. But 5 tracks were missing. Now, I made my own version including ALL the Da Vinci files. The first 8 songs are taken from what should have been their 3rd album. Pre-production tracks with A+ quality sound.  The last 8 tracks are leftover demo material from their 2 first albums. Sadly, most of them are cut at the intros. I've fixed all of them;
Intro fixed: tracks 9, 12, 13, 14, 15  Cracks: tracks 13, 15  Minor db jump fixed: track 10 Unbalanced channels: track 2 Besides, reduced the hiss and enhanced the sound a bit using my new toy; 'Analog Vitalizer MK2', a real cool vintage processor, totally 'eighty'. All these songs are great IMHO, catchy keyboard-driven uptempo AOR tunes, just check "Breathless", "One Of A Kind" or "Where Eagles Die". Beauty ballads, my favorites: "Won't Be The One", a late 80's Toto - style diamond. "You're The Only One" is in a David Foster style.[/spoiler]

This band deserves a podium amongst the champions, on par with EUROPE, TREAT, BAD HABIT, SKAGARACK. A must for scandi - AOR fans [like me]. Myself made art work. Highly Recommended
