This is a reissue done independently by Swedish Erotica of their third album that originally came out in 2005. Great pressing too, it sounds nice and crisp. There was quite a buzz after the release of their first album that came out in ’89, but the label didn’t seem that interested in them. I think all the songs on this release were meant for the second album, but they ended up on here.
If you like your rock a little on the sleazy side then this one’s for you. Mats Levin has the perfect voice for these type of songs. He has a whole bunch of power with a slight rasp and when they take it down a notch he has a perfect clean tone for the more AOR tunes like Fire With Fire. It’s the uptempo groovers that get my attention however like Show A Little Lace, Down 2 Bizniz, and my favourite Too Daze Gone. A hint of Dave era VH pizazz, with a cool riff and groove, and a hook and a chorus that just sticks in the brain. There is a hint of Aerosmith swagger in a lot of what they do and Blue Movies highlights that perfectly.
They played at this year’s Sweden Rock festival so maybe we might get some new tunes. Here’s hoping.
8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
