Worlds away (Pablo Cruise) (LP 3438)

Pablo Cruise  Worlds Away (Vinyl, A&M Records, 1978) ***  

Genre: pop/ rock

Places I remember: Margie's brother's collection

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Love Will Find A Way

Gear costume: Worlds Away

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5

Active compensatory factors: I have a thing for soft rock from California. I buy in, most times. All those peaceful easy feelings, cocktails down by the shore, and smooth Californian accents.

Worlds Away was Pablo Cruise's fourth and most successful album, thanks largely to some excellent singles - Love Will Find a Way, Don't Want to Live Without It and I Go to Rio.

The rest of the album is competent but not inspired and there is a slight whiff of eighties synth about some of the material. For now though, relax and enjoy Worlds Away while relaxing by the pool.

Where do they all belong? In the past, I've been tempted to buy other Pablo Cruise albums - mainly because of their name and image, but I think this will be it.
