Originally released back in 1989, this is the second album by the Norwegian based melodic rockers. MTM have now given it a full re-release along with a bonus track 'Blame It On The Radio'.

Da Vinci played classic Scandinavian influenced melodic rock - think Europe, Treat, Skagarack, treat, Snakeryder et al. Lots of keyboards and harmonies plus neat guitar solos - what more could you ask for???

Highlights include ultra catchy hook filled 'Touchdown', the very Autograph sounding '9 and 10' and of course you get ballads like 'Hold Back The Tears', which Da Vinci carry off withy style.

The lyrics can be cheesy at times but, hey, 80's melodic rock is never about thought provoking lyrics, just good tunes and good times. A definite 'must have' for all lovers of 80's melodic rock.
