And here’s a must have album in your Scandi Melodic Rock / AOR / 80s collection; Swedes TALK OF THE TOWN self-titled 1988’s album in its remastered reissue including 8 bonus tracks.
“Talk Of The Town” is classic ’80s Scandinavian Melodic Rock from every corner – from catchy songwriting and first class performances to the pristine production – musically in the same league of Da Vinci, Bad Habit, Glory, Fate, etc. All songs are simply irresistible.
‘Scandinavian Dynamite’… that’s their original name, and makes justice to the music. Fronted by talented Thomas Vikström (later Therion and countless albums as backing vocalist), TALK OF THE TOWN were just marvelous. “Free Like An Eagle”, “Fever”, “You’ve Got Your Dreams”, “Wildcat” are top notch uptempo AOR tracks. “Feel My Heartbeat” is a superb funk-AOR song, ”Undercover Love’ midtempo magic, while “In The Night” is a breathtaking power ballad. “The Power Inside” sounds like a hi-tech AOR Jojo song but is still great.
The band recorded pre-production demos for a second album that never was, years later finally released by AOR Heaven Records. This remastered reissue add as bonus some of these pre-production demos, a couple of Vikström solo songs (very good) and 2 previously unreleased tracks.
