An Eye For An Eye

by Byrne & Barnes

supported by

Tristan Louth-Robins What an incredible album! It's this miraculous cross-over point of AOR/soft-rock where 70s jazzer fusion meets the slick sophistication of the 80s, yet ..YET..it sounds so very fresh. The opener boasts like Hall & Oates, whilst other tracks bear the indelible mark of Toto, Air Supply, Bread, et. al. I honestly cite those artists with the best intentions. Weirdly, "Crack The Whip" reminds me so much of Split Enz.
Hugely recommended. Favorite track: Love You Out Of Your Mind.

snack<3rat Emotions and soul that transcend the 40 years since this was released Favorite track: I'll Try A Little Every Day For You.

Scott Pop that does not stop! Favorite track: Never Gonna Stop Lovin' You.

about

Favorite Recordings proudly presents this new official album reissue of An Eye For An Eye by Byrne & Barnes: A true WestCoast/AOR masterpiece, produced in legendary music city Muscle Shoals (Alabama) and originally only released on Japanese label Climax.

In 1981, Robert Byrne followed up to his 1979 album, Blame It On The Night, by teaming-up with multi-instrumentalist Brendan Barnes to record this rare WestCoast classic. If they never recorded any other music together, both display incredible music career and went on to produce for many famous artists such as Pointer Sisters, Patti Austin, Earth Wind & Fire, Phil Collins, Brian McKnight, or Boyz II Men to name just a few.

An Eye For An Eye features amazing and sophisticated songs, and parades all the elements of the AOR style: a jazzy sometimes fusion approach, with modern soul and groove flavors. If it’s almost unknown in Byrne & Barnes’ country of origins and in most part of the world, it’s become hugely popular and sought-after in Japan and for all WestCoast music lovers.

After Charles Maurice recently selected the song “Love You Out Of Your Mind” in the AOR Global Sounds Vol.2 compilation, it quickly felt obvious for Favorite Recordings to arrange a proper reissue of the full album, including for the first time the vinyl format.

Fully restored and remastered with great attention to sound quality, An Eye For An Eye by Byrne & Barnes is presented in a deluxe vinyl version housed in a tip-on jacket, as CD and in Digital versions.

Flamingosis is able to meticulously craft these tracks that feel as grand as they are relaxing. You can put this on while studying, or while you bust out some moves on a piece of cardboard.
