Hiroshima - "LA - Los Angels" (1994)

The CD begins and ends with two amazing instrumental tracks: "Voices" and "One World" which cannot be explained in words.
"One Fine Day" is the first vocal track speaking of hope and optimism of everything working out that makes even an evil person like me smile.
"Love and Understanding" a fine tune that shows how this band can deliver entertaining mellow grooves
"Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" a remake of the James Taylor classic of the longing to be held and cared for, just for that night, knowing that things will go back to the way there were in the morning
"Only Love" the crown jewel of this cd: speaking of how only love can "break your heart" and "free your soul"; only love can destroy you and make you fly in the clouds . . .both sides of the emotion are beautifully expressed and I dare you to listen to this track and not cry.

A great CD which will make you want to buy all of their CDs
