One of the best breakout albums from any artist associated with Genesis. With one of the biggest hits of the 1980's and still played quite often 30 years later, this album has staying power. With a mix of love songs, slightly depressing ballads, upbeat pop and some great melodic sounds from the former drummer of Genesis, it's a great first attempt at an amalgamation of his own sounds while holding on to the music backbones that have made him the artist he is today.

One of the most successful albums by Styx and probably the oddest theme for an album. Centered around the fictional Paradise Theater of downtown Chicago, the album starts out with a sleepy love ballad into that quickly leads into "Rockin The Paradise" - sadly a song that really never hit the radios. From there on, the diversity of the album includes the popular love ballad "Best of Times"...which starts out very similar to the album's intro track. Party times and post prohibition era are the theme for "Too Much Time On My Hands". Snow-Blind, Half-Penny Two-Penny reference the greed of the times and the Great Depression. The album ends on what sounds like a sad note. To me it's more of a draw to press the replay button. With more singles (although not all Top 40) probably the best album by Styx that isn't a compilation album.

Machinations - Big Music

Sydney-based independent mid 80's dance band who had a half dozen hits hits such as "Pressure Sway", "No Say In It" and "My Heart's On Fire".
This album really pumps with good solid 80's style funk/pop/dance music with a quality feel to it.
Stand out tracks are "My Heart's on Fire", "Predator", "No Say in It", "You Got Me Going Again", and the awsome "The Letter" (one of my favorites).
As Molly Meldrum used to say, do yourself a favor and check this great Aussie album out.

Yes - 90125

Everyone knows "Owner of a Lonely Heart". It's a great 80s song for sure, but I like "It Can Happen" just a bit more, and "Leave It" and "Changes" just a bit less. Face it, the whole album rocks!
In 1983, I was more familiar with Jon Anderson's voice because of his albums with Vangelis than I was with his previous Yes albums. (I was hooked with Vangelis' music as soon as I heard the album "Heaven and Hell". So, when Jon left Yes in 1980 and started working with Vangelis, I was already listening...)
90125 (no, it's not a zip code) is an amazing "come-back" album. For me, it's as if Yes swooped down on the 80s and said "here you go". I'm not that big a fan of their music before or after (Big Generator is pretty good also ;) ), but 90125 just blows me away every time I listen to it. The CD is always with me in the car.

This album will always be my favorite along with the Much Music videos that appeared in the 1980's and like all young teenage girls we had a girlie crush on Paris Black.
The day came where I met him in person and got the chance to interview him check out his site
Paris Black
www.parisblack.globalentertainmentmag.com
We will continue to bring forth Rock N Roll reports on his career to keep everyone up to date, and informed of his musical developments.
And no he never really dropped out of the music scene he continued to play live shows and pursued a career in acting.

Paris Black's journalist
