DA VINCI - The Lost Tracks (1990)


DA VINCI was one of the best Scandi AOR of all time.
Only 2 albums released, both filled with scorching tunes.
This compilation (also known as "Unfinished Business") is what should have been their 3rd album.
But never was released...What happens in the middle?... A complete mystery.
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').

Catchy keyboard-driven uptempo AOR, just check "Breathless", "One Of A Kind" or "Where Eagles Dare".
Beauty ballads, my favorite: "Won't Be The One", a late 80's TOTO - style diamond.
This band deserves a podium amongst the champions, on par with EUROPE, TREAT, BAD HABIT, SKAGARACK.
Really good songs, a must for scandi fans [like me].

A legendary band, indeed, DA VINCI's by far one of the very best Snadi AOR bands, rightfully compared to Bad Habit and Europe. great album, even greater band.

This cd is awesome,but the song Electric Lady is also the 11th song, so You're The Only One is missing.

Hi antzsa.
You're right, but this isn't my upload...please refer about this particular item in "Request & Fill Corner" page. Original uploader (homer64) frequently visits this section.
Thanx 4 your comment.
