Overlooked Late 80's Gem,
This review is from: The Sea Of Love (Audio CD)
An excellent album from a band that took their stab in the mid to late 80's. Formed out of the remnants of the Starjets, the Adventures were at their most mainstream on "The Sea of Love," with polished production, gorgeous harmonies, and hooks that are catchy as all get-out. At the time it probably would've been called 'alternative,' but this is very accessible stuff. The first two tracks are sweepingly beautiful highlights. Subsequent to this, the band worked with Langer/Winstanley and went into a sound that can best be called Celtic country. If you wanna check them out, best to go with this one. ABBA meets The Waterboys? Crazy as it sounds, it's the best description I can give you. And it works.

Perplexed,
By JUST-MY-OPINION (Oklahoma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sea Of Love (Audio CD)
This is one of the best melodic rock cds from the late 80's. I have their debut self titled effort on cassett. It's pretty good too, almost as good as The Sea Of Love. It was issued in I believe the UK as 'Theodore And Friends' and sometimes goes for like $100 on ebay. Get with it people! When stuff goes for that high on ebay, it needs a reissue.By the way, before they were the Adventures, they were the Starjets (or at least 2 members or the Adventures were). If you like cool melodic power pop, you may REALLY enjoy GOD BLESS THE STARJETS.

Mellow 80's Irish band,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sea Of Love (Audio CD)
When I first heard them in 1987, I wore the tape out. I'm delighted this CD can still be purchased. This band comes from the New Wave era and that's how I found them, but don't pidgeon-hole them. They definately have the Irish sound, are very lyrical, and the songs, all fairly of a type, are not your typical goofy 80's pop rock music. Perhaps that's why we didn't hear of them more! If you get the chance, give them a try.
