Atlantic Starr - Silver Shadow (1985)

Another new band to me. My journey during the Summer of FM has led me down some very bizarre rabbit holes. But the rewards are usually worth it. If a band was around before and after the 80s, chances are their 1985-1987 albums will have at least a couple tracks in them that are loaded with FM. It's almost as if it were mandated.

This is a pretty fantastic album overall, and yes, it only had two or so tracks that used FM. This track being the better of the two. This bass line lays down the smooth funk vibes, and that chorus delivers! This is the kind of bass riff that you want to learn on the keyboard so you can bust it out when you are surfing new presets.

For funsies: The bridge after the half way mark basically used the Sonic the Hedgehog FM "ring" sound. Brilliant :)

Welcome to the regular rotation, Silver Shadow!
