Adventure

Adventure / Eleanor Academia (1987)




The album , Maurice White and Al McKay participated.
For ELEANOR ACADEMIA, in her of the LA growth of the Hawaii birth, parents are Pilippines.

An exotic Asian sound gives the spice to this album and it is the re-charm.
She plays most musical instruments, and attractive tone quality for vocal to enter our body naturally through the ear.

I heard that her demo tape at first , Maurice, Al, and the Manhattan record in New York showed the acute interest.

Having been released after all : from Epic Sony in Japan.
The application for Japan that had laid weight in her self produce ability seems to have acted well.
Maurice of EWF participated by three Background vocal.
The high pitched sound of Maurice favors the tune wonderfully.
Al McKay participated in two with the guitar about the Maurice participation.

Better Than Safe Than Sorry
I'm Human
One Dot World


One profitable piece that we can enjoy voice of Maurice and guitar of Al .
I love this album !

Popular band in a little extreme stage.
"She' s A Beauty "collected in this seems made a big hit !

Album that cohabits with hardness of The Tubes and freshness of David Foster.

in that.
I think that only this tune is different color from others.

Such a description was in the CD jacket.
EESPECIAL WORDS FROM MAURICE WHITE/

Maybe he wrote this lyrics.
However, do I make a mistake though I thought I heard Maurice's voice after the chorus after this tune ?
