The twin duo spins the warmth of soft rock.
A melodic and harmonically rich piece by the Alessi brothers.
As the title "Long Time Friends" suggests, the music expresses universal themes such as friendship and bonds. Often discussed in the context of AOR and soft rock, the album comfortably complements the West Coast sound of the time. The delicate, familiar songs bring a sense of comfort and nostalgia to listeners.
