Strangeways - Any day now
If your mind is set on a true AOR experience, then don't expect to find it here. Strangeways of old, with their now classic albums "Native sons" and "Walk in the fire", provide this. This release however, drastically changed my view of the band's music. Released in 1997, it mainly followed the sound of the 1994 release "And the horse". I wasn't too big a fan of the forementioned, but this one I found a great deal better. If you forget about the old Strangeways AOR-sound for a moment, this is quite good. It's definately an album suited for late night listening, as it's very atmospheric and on the soft side. Listen to tracks like "Blue line" for example, and you see what I'm talking about.
