I am trying to replace my 80's cassettes with dvd's. This s a very inexpensive way of doing this. You guys got a ton more titles that=n the local music store chains. Keep up the good work.

Big 80s Keyboard Rock
The album Steel Breeze, by the band Steel Breeze is all up tempo. There are no ballads here. This is what I call a "convertible album." It is perfect for top down driving, stereo blasting and taking on a twisty road. The band's sound is almost the feel of the early 80's arena rock, but the sound is not too big or overblown. Steel Breeze's most known song, `You Don't Want Me Anymore' starts the album off with a classic `80s keyboard fanfare. This sets the tone for the whole album. While you won't find anymore commercial hits here, there still some very solid songs. The last track, Street Talknin' is an interesting diversion. It has a slight calypso feel to it.

What a great blast from the past
I enjoyed seeing this album again on cdnow. I went to school with the lead singer " Ric Jacobs ", at the time his name was Dick. He was my best friend in those days and we used to sing folk songs in his basement in Downers Grove, Ill. Buy this and you will not be disappointed. BTW, i saw the band 4 times. They were the intro band for Hall and Oates, the did 50 shows for them and what a party it was. Thanks Ric, and thanks to the band for the memories !

Nice, unknown new wave-rock.
I found this album in one of my many "scavenger hunts" at used CD shops - on tape for a quarter! Still, I'm glad I picked it up. While in all it's not the best album of its genre, when I heard "You Don't Want me Anymore", I couldn't believe how good it was - can't stop playing it now! Guitar power pop that strongly sounds like "Jesse's Girl", though the singer sounds alot closer to Ric Ocasek of the Cars. The next track -- more of a straight-up new wave rocker (in a Knack or Cars style) -- was called "Lost in the 80's"! Heck, that's cool enough for me right there! I believe the ballad "Dreamin' is Easy" was the other hit. Other than this, and the first two songs, it all seems to kind of sound the same to me, but maybe I just need to give it more listens. The second side blends together alot, but the song titles even sound like 80's songs (eg - "Can't Stop the Feeling"). I'd basically call it a combo of power pop, new wave and 80's AOR rock (with just a little 70's influence left - this WAS 1981), with alot of keyboards and technology of the time.

An album lost in the 80's...3 1/2 stars
Remember the video to "You Don't Love Me Anymore"? One of the guitarists featured a mohawk haircut. Boy, are those days history. Dreamin' is Easy was a cool song too. I just recently purchased this cd for nostalgia reasons, but in listening to it I had forgotten just how good some of the songs were and how great some of the guitar playing was.
