I'm glad you like it!
I agree it isn't anything TOO groundbreaking but I'm very surprised at how well made it is for a band who only ended up sticking around for 2 albums (one under Niflheim). I wasn't sure if you were gonna go for that or the Sortsind! Both mint albums but definitely far apart stylistically.
Got this one from Anteater:
For awhile now I've been wanting to get into smooth jazz because of how positive it always sounded and the fact that I tie into the beach and vacation. I'm not sure why.. but every time I hear it I always think of a vacation I had in Florida. I get feelings and vague images but I get a very clear picture of me looking out the window at the sun and hearing the music. It's fandiddles.
I was leery at first when I heard "80s" because, for some reason, when I hear music noticeably older than the 90s I feel weirdly uncomfortable or just put off. I can't really explain it (like most of the "feelings" I get) but regardless, my worries were resolved when I put it on and could tell it was definitely from the late 80s; 1989 to be exact. The whole album is exactly what I expected from the genre; that feeling of carelessness like you're on a vacation and maybe drinking some sort of alcoholic beverage (I don't drink despite my German and Irish background and last name of "Beers"). So I guess I'd just be drinking water.. but you get my drift. I'm happy to finally have been introduced to the genre and shall do some exploring!
Thanks kind sir
