...E VIA

One of the best Banco pop 80's albums. They really tried to come closer to the British new wave by using English title of the songs, additional more mainstream sounding vocals by Mike Francis and Mario Valerio. The sound is even more distanced from normal rock sound. Melodies are really good and vocals fulfill the pop music more than enough. Instrumentally, it is a wasted time for all players as it shows a fragment of their chops.

The first song is a very catchy pop song that must have suited the pop market and radio waves well. "Black Out" features good grooving bass guitar, also good vocals but terrible drums especially fill-ins are dreadful. "When we touched your eyes" sounds quite like Spandau Ballet - a good but not authentic song by Banco. This is their first ballad attempt on the record but contradicts quite dynamic guitar. Another slow song by worse by far is "Mexico city" that only has acoustic guitar to be different from the rest of the pack and some chorals. "Lies in your eyes" is another very typical British mid 80's song with mildly interesting keyboard accompaniment. "Baby Jane" tries to be less commercial and does sound more authentic but still does not save the album.
