This german band (and particulary this album) is a cult group in AOR circles.
Wrongly marketed as a pop band, they blend a hi-tech sound with lite AOR.
Singer Jan Krueger has not accent at all, his voice is clear and fresh.
The band mates (especially guitar-man Markus Krochmann) are skilled musicians.
Some tracks are really tasteful, like 'Stop (Breakin' All Those Little Hearts)', a perfect example of the band's style, with TOTO influences.
Or the title track, an imaginative intrumental that reminds me the best DAVID FOSTER.
Very good production, and perfectly mixed.
As far I know only released on vinyl...

Thank you very much! A really beautiful album.
I am really enjoying this.
This band somehow gives me a feel like modern talking, a-ha.
The voice and the music to some extent.
Camelblue, can you please more of this band? I am not finding any specifics on their albums. Sadly!
Hello at all! ;-)
Sorry, my English so bad, cause i'am a German.
This is the First (and the best) Release of the Band, The second Album called "Painted Nights" 1986, the third and last Release called only "Channel 5" 1988
And by the Way... all three Albums are also released on CD! But very rare.... Greets Ralf

They have a Westcoast/AOR edge to them as well unlike most Hi-tech band I've heard. Especially with songs like "Isn't It You", "1000 Miles", and "Blue Suit Gang"
