GO 90

Artist: GO 90
Title: Self Titled       
Format: Vinyl LP
Year: 1984
Songs: 10
Label: Silent Records
Style: AOR

Behind the colorful presentation of their lone one off album front jacket stands a trio of musicians hailing out of Portland, OR.  The band enlisted session help to round out the album, but it’s the Prophet 5 synthesizer that plays a major role in the High Tech AOR proceedings.  ‘Fatal Attraction’ borders on new wave with its catchy refrain and synth work, while High Tech AOR rules the day on the melodic ‘Paradise’ and prominent drumming/guitar riffing in ‘Outside World’.  Piercing synth stabs keep the attention on ‘Not Like You’.
