"In the early 80s a true musical guilty pleasure was the romantic pop music of Air Supply. With their first four albums they managed to provide some very high quality love songs and amass a great number of hits. You also know that many candlelit dinners were had and love made to this music. Whatever your musical taste it seemed there would be at least one Air Supply song you loved. And then there were fans like me who loved them all.
Here we have a great deal - their first two and best albums on one cd - digitally remastered for the best sound quality possible. The first album LOST IN LOVE starts with the single by the same name that started it all for Air Supply. It is a hauntingly beautiful ballad. We then have ALL OUT OF LOVE, EVERY WOMAN IN THE WORLD, HAVING YOU NEAR ME and the boldly emotional smash CHANCES which was one of their all time best tracks. Not bad to have all these great songs on their first release. And the rest aren't filler either.
Then we have the next album THE ONE THAT YOU LOVE which was their best all time release. All romantics rejoiced with this release and the quality pop it provided. HERE I AM(JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OVER YOU), THE ONE THAT YOU LOVE, SWEET DREAMS and I WANT TO GIVE IT ALL are the standouts but honestly the whole album had no filler and was a concise ten track wonder of lush romantic pop. This release is great for Air Supply fans but the romantic songs hold up and would be a great addition to any music collection for someone who wants quality romantic pop that takes them away to a happy place. These songs are heartfelt and joyous and stand the test of time. You will also see that on some of the album tracks the group stretched and experimented a little.
Bottom line, highly recommended."
