I think these guys were originally from Liverpool and called Strangeheart, but I may have the wrong band. Anyhoo, this is Torino’s second album that came out in ’89. They produced it themselves and that’s the first thing that bothers me. The vocals sound as though they are coming from next door and it feels almost like a demo.

It’s all very competent AOR and ticks all the right boxes, but it just doesn’t light the fire, it’s missing that big hook. Dance All Night is the one song where it all comes together and if the whole album was like this then we would be on to a winner, but one song does not make a great album.

6/10 from The Grooveman.
