A  PERSONAL  ALBUM  REVIEW   When this second Wavz band started rehearsals , it had at least 20 original tried and true songs to choose from . Mostly songs left over from the first Wavz band's repertoire . So picking about half from that list , and putting new arrangements to them , plus adding new tunes just written . You could say that our work was cut out for us . So by the beginning of 1981 this band was ready to roll . It had been a year since the Stripper sessions . In that space of time , the main stream music seen had added a new sound to it . It was called New Wave music . { Which was a mix of Rock , Punk , Reggae , & pop .} Phil , Eve , and myself quickly caught on to that style and started to write and arrange songs with that flavor in mind . Yet still holding on to the rock roots we had grown up with . {It worked out as a good mix} . Unlike the first Wavz lineup , this one had two lead and rhythm guitarist , plus a female electric pianist and vocalist . This allowed us to add more punch and color to our over all sound . {In my opinion the only element missing was a percussionist , Oh well .}.... On to the album !!  It opens up with a updated version of that hard edged rocker called  LUCKY FACE  {by caravello & velasquez} . Man i loved singing that song .  The second track is a New Wave type song called  MORE THAN JUST TALK  { by Shally} . It has a tight fuzz bass and chorus effect electric guitar sound to it . with a drum performance that is on the money ..... Also other songs complimenting that period are ,  number one , a Police//Who influenced song called  SUPPOSE { by Caravello} . Featuring muffed guitar chord changes , high end melotic bass lines , working up to plenty of accents and melody lines through the rest of the song . Number two , A funky rocker called  SUCKER'S INSANE {by caravello} This one is also loaded with chord and note accents . Written in March 1981 . Feeling the pain and anger of the murder of John Lennon . I felt as most of the world felt .  So i had to say something . So this song is about my feelings towards Lennon's killer .  Number Three a song that has a little bit of a Beatles flavor to it . It is called  LOSING YOU {by caravello} . Again using accent down stroke chord changes to an up tempo type beat .   Featuring 2 part harmoney lead guitar melody lines .... We also touched the style of R & B with a song that was originally a rock tune ,  but we put a rearrangement to it . It is called SILVER LADY # 2  {by caravello} I love picking out and slapping the bass lines on this one . Also it has a beautiful and soulful lead vocal performance by phil . Though most of the lp rocks out . It also has a mello side to it too . Starting with a song called THERE COMES A TIME {by Shally} . This is a piano bassed tune with the rest of the band neatly playing along with Eve .   She adds a sweet vocal style to this tune . We also do an updated version of phil's song called  WON'T BE SAD {by Velasquez] . This one with more guitar work put to it . And the 3 part harmonys handled by Eve , Phil , and myself .... Their are two rocking tunes that are bassed on melody line bass hooks . One of them being dare i say a touch of disco ?  It is called  LIVE WIRE {by caravello} . Don't worry we really rock it up at a ass kicking pace . It was dedicated to all of those diehard female club goers who just lived to dance . I love the chorus on this song ,  with its very powerful chord accents that worked well with a light show . The other tune is a very commerical rock tune , that will work out well in any time period . It is called  NOBODY BUT YOU {by Caravello} It was mainly written for Eve to sing so she would come out from behind the piano and front the band singing this song . It always went over very well live ..... We also did those 70's type progressive rock songs . One being a song called PICTURES {by caravello & Velasquez} It has A bit of Yes and Argent in it .... Next we touched on a little bit of boogie with a song called PHIL'S BOOGIE # 2 {by Velasquez} It was fun to play this one while laughing .... And last but not least a few words about the title cut called  I JUST LOVE THAT DREAM # 2 {by Caravello & Velasquez} It is the second version of this song [ the first being on the Stripper lp which is a 70's type version] . But this 8 minute plus version is more like a jazzy 80's type version . It has a full group participation approach to it .     That features each musician playing a little bit of a solo . We put alot of work into this one .   And the recording proves it . [ it is one of my fav's ] . It was so much fun to play live . An audience fav too .... NOW !  As all of the albums that we will be putting out . This one also features Two Bonus Tracks . The First one is a song that is incomplete . But it is important to add it anyway  . It was written and recorded in my living room at 1pm on  Sunday  Dec 14th 1980 . Just Six days after John Lennon was killed .   Yoko Ono requested a moment of silence at 12 noon that day . And all over the world we all paid tribute to John , for that one moment . Then his song Imagine was played . I remember very well all of the members of this Wavz Band sitting there in my apt. bowing our heads . A few minutes later to help to try and cheer us up , i got an idea for a song . and this bonus track is that song . It is called  BECAUSE OF YOU   by { Wavz } . It was just a thing to do to make us get through that sad day . Then a little while later we left and went to one of our rehearsal sessions ....   The second song is an example of Phil's and my sense of humor . It is just a fool around song called   WALLS .  once again written and recorded in my living room .... The collection of studio songs on this lp were recorded with 8 hours of studio time booked . .That is all .  At the cost of  at least $200.00 .  Only because we would rehearse our asses off as much as we can . we were a very tight band . One of the best bands i was ever in .       Thank you so much for the read   sincerely with luv Vinny !
