November 19, 2021I knew he was the producer of The Dark Side but had not really heard anything from him until I heard a clip of music on the TV which I fell in love with and just had to find out who it was from. It was the opening bars from " Eye In The Sky", one of my favourite albums by him, my collection just grew from there. His ability to draw you into all of the albums with the use of different singers and instrumental tracks is fantastic. Just love the album " On Air " , being ex RAF myself I can appreciate it completely,
I would love to see them live but alas I don't think I will but am glad I found his music and never tire of playing his albums.
